Abstract:	The relationship of risk and capital is very important for the banking industries. There are many studies published to examine this relationship. The relationship between capital and risks are studied extensively by several researchers. In regards to the relationship between capital and risks, researchers found different results. Some of the scholars’ state that, risks has negative relationship with capital. Meanwhile other researchers indicate the nonlinear negative and positive relationship between capital and risks. This study aims to examine the relationship between capital and risks of commercial banks of Nepal. The study has employed descriptive and causal comparative research designs to deal with the fundamental issues associated with capital and risks in the context of Nepal. The study is based on secondary data. The variables used in the study are core capital and total capital as dependent variables where as independent variables are credit risks, operational risks, and market risks.. Similarly this study covers data of sample banks for 7 years ranging for year 2008 to 2014. Thus, collected date were analyzed using excel, and SPSS statistical package. This study used methods such as mean, standard deviation, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis in order to analyze the data. The study reveals that risks have significant and positive impact on capital of banks and suggests specifically that bank should try to minimize risks in order to achieve the smooth functioning of the banks. More specifically, the study finds that credit risk, operational risk, and market risk, were statistically significant and positive impact on core capital and total capital of commercial banks in Nepal. The regression analysis also revealed that 96 percent in the dependent variable core capital is explained by all the independent variables. This suggests that relationship is found to be positive and significant relationship with core capital.
