    General F.A.Q

    What is the legal process to register a Private Limited company in Nepal?

    Company registration in Nepal involves verifying and reserving your company name online at the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR), preparing the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA), submitting registration documents, and obtaining approval. Following OCR registration, the company must register with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) for PAN/VAT and complete ward/local municipality registration before commencing operations.

    How do you handle corporate tax compliance and IRD disputes?

    We provide integrated legal and tax advisory services covering Income Tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), and withholding tax (TDS) filings. For tax audits, administrative assessments, and disputed tax liabilities, our team prepares formal responses for administrative reviews before the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) and represents corporate clients in tax appeals before the Revenue Tribunal.

    What statutory approvals are required for NGOs and INGOs in Nepal?

    Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) must register at the District Administration Office (DAO) and affiliate with the Social Welfare Council (SWC), followed by PAN registration. International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) must enter into General and Project Agreements with the SWC and obtain Ministry approvals. We assist with annual renewals, tax exemptions, and SWC project clearances.

    What is the legal procedure for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Nepal?

    Foreign investment in Nepal is regulated under the Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Act (FITTA). Foreign investors must obtain initial FDI approval from the Department of Industry (DOI) or Investment Board Nepal (IBN) depending on project capital, route funds through Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) foreign exchange channels, register the company with the OCR, and complete industry and tax registrations.

    How can businesses register and protect their Trademarks in Nepal?

    Trademark protection is secured through the Department of Industry (DOI) under the Patent, Design and Trademark Act. The process includes a preliminary trademark search, formal application submission, examination by the DOI, a 90-day publication in the Industrial Property Bulletin for public opposition, and the issuance of the registration certificate if no disputes arise.

    What legal compliances are required for IT startups, e-commerce, and FinTech entities?

    Tech and digital enterprises must align with the Electronic Transactions Act (ETA), consumer protection laws, and data privacy guidelines. Payment service providers and FinTech platforms additionally require licensing and compliance supervision from Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB). We assist with software licensing agreements, terms of service, data protection policies, and regulatory approvals.

    What due diligence is critical before purchasing commercial or private real estate?

    Comprehensive property due diligence involves verifying the Land Ownership Certificate (Lalpurja), cross-checking plot boundaries and maps at the Survey Office (Napi Karyalaya), ensuring the property is free of bank mortgages or court restrictions (Rokka) at the Land Revenue Office (Malpot Karyalaya), and confirming no ancestral inheritance (Ansha Banda) disputes exist under the Civil Code.
