For the fiscal year 2080-81, there will be no government fees charged for company registration and capital increase. During the budget speech for Nepal on the 15th of Jestha, Finance Minister Dr. Prakash Sharan Mahat announced this provision. However, due to various challenges, this provision had been on hold until now. It has been implemented following an announcement made by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Supplies in the official gazette on Monday.

Why such arrangement was introduced in Nepal?
“To promote entrepreneurship in the country and to strengthen the start-up ecosystem. Nowadays, start-ups are given special attention worldwide because they bring innovative ideas and inventions to the market. With this arrangement in Nepal, it is hoped that young entrepreneurs will find it much easier to start their own start-ups.”
