			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">April 2: The Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) has been found issuing licenses to analog cable operators against its own decision earlier to close down operation of analog cable.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">MoIC, through a minister-level decision had decided to close the operation of cable television based on analog technology in all the metropolises and sub-metropolises from April 14, 2013 and across the country from April 14, 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The ministry is found to provide licenses to operate analog cable television to New Home Vision on April 21 and Cable Television Network of Nepal Pvt. Ltd. on April 22, 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, the ministry has also issued license to Yangshila Cable TV Network Pvt. Ltd. and Alka Cable Network Pvt. Ltd on July 2 and 13 respectively in 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the updated details of cable broadcasters till December 15, 2015, the ministry has also included the newly licensed cable operators.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, Anil Bhujel, Engineer of Department of Cable Television and Films of MoIC, said that the ministry had only renewed the licenses and has not issued new ones.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to him, the licenses that were received before closing the issuance have been canceled, and new license was issued by charging some fines.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&ldquo;Analog cable television licenses were canceled for failure of timely renewal,&rdquo; he said, adding, &ldquo;But they were still in operation at that time.&rdquo; He further said that license was given only to those few cable television companies and it has also been closed lately.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">By amending the National Broadcasting Regulations for the sixth time in 2013, the government had made a provision to shift to digital system from the analog cable technology within three years in metropolises and sub-metropolises, four years in municipalities and five years in other areas through a notice published in Nepal Gazette.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">April 2: All life and non-life insurance companies operating in the country will have to increase their paid-up capital by four folds within mid-July 2018. Insurance Board (IB), the insurance sector regulator of the country, formulated the mechanism regarding the required paid-up capital on March 31. Meanwhile, stakeholders have applauded the move of IB saying that the move taken will strengthen the insurance companies and increase their shock absorbing capacity. Presently, nine life insurance companies and 15 non-life insurance companies are operating in the domestic market.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As per the new mechanism, life insurance companies will have to maintain a minimum paid-up capital of Rs two billion, while non-life insurance companies need to raise their minimum paid-up capital to Rs one billion within the stipulated timeframe. Earlier, the minimum paid-up capital requirement was Rs 500 million and Rs 250 million for life and non-life insurance companies respectively. &ldquo;The required minimum paid-up capital of the insurance companies was not raised in last 7/8 years.&nbsp; Thus, in order to synchronize the insurance sector with the current economical growth, the insurance companies are asked to raise their minimum paid-up capital,&rdquo; said Chiranjibi Chapagain, Chairman of IB. &ldquo;The step aims to strengthen the insurance companies to the extent that they become capable of taking bigger risks.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">IB has provided options of distributing bonus shares and right shares from the profits of the companies along with merger process to the insurance companies to raise their minimum paid-up capital by the next 16 months. &ldquo;Insurance companies will have to distribute bonus, issue right shares or merge with other companies to meet the minimum paid-up capital,&rdquo; said Chairman Chapagain. The new mechanism is applicable to foreign companies that are functioning in Nepal as well.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Among the insurance companies operating in the country, only Nepal Life Insurance Company (NLIC) has been able to raise its paid-up capital to Rs 3.09 billion after distributing 25 percent bonus shares announced by recently held annual general meeting.</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">March 31: The lower house of Indian parliament has passed four supplementary bills related to Goods and Service Tax (GST).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;After the lower house of parliament of India passed the bill on Wednesday, it is certain that this will be implemented from July 1.&nbsp; The bill will now be sent to the upper house for approval.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The bill will be implemented in all the states of India within three months after its approval by the Indian Parliament.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Economists analyse that this step of Indian government to change the tax system in a bid to strengthen the economy will also help Nepal&#39;s economy which is turning import-oriented.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to Shambhu Gupta, Professor at the Economics Department of Tribhuvan University, single rated GST will make the import and export process from India organised and systematic.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Gupta further shares that if GST will be implemented, the transport cost while importing from other countries will come down. &quot;Besides this, the cost of finished goods and raw materials will also decrease and will reduce the price of goods in Nepalese market,&quot; he says.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">India has been charging various taxes including state entrance tax, service tax and transportation tax.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, it is expected that the replacement of all those indirect taxes by GST will create positive impact in the import and export of Nepal.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&quot;Prior to this decision also, there was no tax in terms of import.&nbsp; However, we had to pay various kinds of service taxes. We expect that this decision will provide us some relief now,&quot; shares Pashupati Murarka, President of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI).&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It is expected that the implementation of this tax system will help strengthen the economy of Nepal which depends on India for its two thirds of total imports.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to the sluggish works of the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA), the service provider has not yet been fixed as six months have already passed after asking for the applications.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">For the installation of optical fiber for the first time in those places, the Authority had asked for applications from service providers on September 29, 2016. Though the application was to be filed till November 11, NTA extended the deadline to January 10, 2017 and received applications till the date. On that time period, two telecommunications service providers and one internet service providers proposed for auction bidding.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A committee was formed with different department officials from the Authority for the analysis of the received applications. The six members under the coordination of Purushottam Khanal, Director of NTA submitted the analysis report a week before to Digambar Jha, Chairman of NTA.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the basis of recommendations made by the committee, the Authority can select one particular company for letter of intent (LOI) or can cancel it. Jha said that he has not studied the report till date, however, the decision will be made by April 6.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the application filed by the service providers at NTA, Ncell, WorldLink and UTL have expressed their interests to invest Rs 2.71 billion, Rs 2.50 billion and Rs 2.01 billion respectively.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, NTA has made it clear that the project will be given to a company which can conclude the project at reasonable cost and which is technically capable. The selected company will get auctioned bid amount as grant from the Rural Telecommunication Development Fund (RTDF).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">MoIC, through a minister-level decision had decided to close the operation of cable television based on analog technology in all the metropolises and sub-metropolises from April 14, 2013 and across the country from April 14, 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The ministry is found to provide licenses to operate analog cable television to New Home Vision on April 21 and Cable Television Network of Nepal Pvt. Ltd. on April 22, 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, the ministry has also issued license to Yangshila Cable TV Network Pvt. Ltd. and Alka Cable Network Pvt. Ltd on July 2 and 13 respectively in 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the updated details of cable broadcasters till December 15, 2015, the ministry has also included the newly licensed cable operators.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, Anil Bhujel, Engineer of Department of Cable Television and Films of MoIC, said that the ministry had only renewed the licenses and has not issued new ones.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to him, the licenses that were received before closing the issuance have been canceled, and new license was issued by charging some fines.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&ldquo;Analog cable television licenses were canceled for failure of timely renewal,&rdquo; he said, adding, &ldquo;But they were still in operation at that time.&rdquo; He further said that license was given only to those few cable television companies and it has also been closed lately.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">By amending the National Broadcasting Regulations for the sixth time in 2013, the government had made a provision to shift to digital system from the analog cable technology within three years in metropolises and sub-metropolises, four years in municipalities and five years in other areas through a notice published in Nepal Gazette.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">April 2: All life and non-life insurance companies operating in the country will have to increase their paid-up capital by four folds within mid-July 2018. Insurance Board (IB), the insurance sector regulator of the country, formulated the mechanism regarding the required paid-up capital on March 31. Meanwhile, stakeholders have applauded the move of IB saying that the move taken will strengthen the insurance companies and increase their shock absorbing capacity. Presently, nine life insurance companies and 15 non-life insurance companies are operating in the domestic market.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As per the new mechanism, life insurance companies will have to maintain a minimum paid-up capital of Rs two billion, while non-life insurance companies need to raise their minimum paid-up capital to Rs one billion within the stipulated timeframe. Earlier, the minimum paid-up capital requirement was Rs 500 million and Rs 250 million for life and non-life insurance companies respectively. &ldquo;The required minimum paid-up capital of the insurance companies was not raised in last 7/8 years.&nbsp; Thus, in order to synchronize the insurance sector with the current economical growth, the insurance companies are asked to raise their minimum paid-up capital,&rdquo; said Chiranjibi Chapagain, Chairman of IB. &ldquo;The step aims to strengthen the insurance companies to the extent that they become capable of taking bigger risks.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">IB has provided options of distributing bonus shares and right shares from the profits of the companies along with merger process to the insurance companies to raise their minimum paid-up capital by the next 16 months. &ldquo;Insurance companies will have to distribute bonus, issue right shares or merge with other companies to meet the minimum paid-up capital,&rdquo; said Chairman Chapagain. The new mechanism is applicable to foreign companies that are functioning in Nepal as well.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Among the insurance companies operating in the country, only Nepal Life Insurance Company (NLIC) has been able to raise its paid-up capital to Rs 3.09 billion after distributing 25 percent bonus shares announced by recently held annual general meeting.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;After the lower house of parliament of India passed the bill on Wednesday, it is certain that this will be implemented from July 1.&nbsp; The bill will now be sent to the upper house for approval.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The bill will be implemented in all the states of India within three months after its approval by the Indian Parliament.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Economists analyse that this step of Indian government to change the tax system in a bid to strengthen the economy will also help Nepal&#39;s economy which is turning import-oriented.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to Shambhu Gupta, Professor at the Economics Department of Tribhuvan University, single rated GST will make the import and export process from India organised and systematic.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Gupta further shares that if GST will be implemented, the transport cost while importing from other countries will come down. &quot;Besides this, the cost of finished goods and raw materials will also decrease and will reduce the price of goods in Nepalese market,&quot; he says.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">India has been charging various taxes including state entrance tax, service tax and transportation tax.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, it is expected that the replacement of all those indirect taxes by GST will create positive impact in the import and export of Nepal.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&quot;Prior to this decision also, there was no tax in terms of import.&nbsp; However, we had to pay various kinds of service taxes. We expect that this decision will provide us some relief now,&quot; shares Pashupati Murarka, President of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI).&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It is expected that the implementation of this tax system will help strengthen the economy of Nepal which depends on India for its two thirds of total imports.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to the sluggish works of the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA), the service provider has not yet been fixed as six months have already passed after asking for the applications.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">For the installation of optical fiber for the first time in those places, the Authority had asked for applications from service providers on September 29, 2016. Though the application was to be filed till November 11, NTA extended the deadline to January 10, 2017 and received applications till the date. On that time period, two telecommunications service providers and one internet service providers proposed for auction bidding.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A committee was formed with different department officials from the Authority for the analysis of the received applications. The six members under the coordination of Purushottam Khanal, Director of NTA submitted the analysis report a week before to Digambar Jha, Chairman of NTA.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the basis of recommendations made by the committee, the Authority can select one particular company for letter of intent (LOI) or can cancel it. Jha said that he has not studied the report till date, however, the decision will be made by April 6.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the application filed by the service providers at NTA, Ncell, WorldLink and UTL have expressed their interests to invest Rs 2.71 billion, Rs 2.50 billion and Rs 2.01 billion respectively.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, NTA has made it clear that the project will be given to a company which can conclude the project at reasonable cost and which is technically capable. The selected company will get auctioned bid amount as grant from the Rural Telecommunication Development Fund (RTDF).</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">April 2: The Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) has been found issuing licenses to analog cable operators against its own decision earlier to close down operation of analog cable.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">MoIC, through a minister-level decision had decided to close the operation of cable television based on analog technology in all the metropolises and sub-metropolises from April 14, 2013 and across the country from April 14, 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The ministry is found to provide licenses to operate analog cable television to New Home Vision on April 21 and Cable Television Network of Nepal Pvt. Ltd. on April 22, 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, the ministry has also issued license to Yangshila Cable TV Network Pvt. Ltd. and Alka Cable Network Pvt. Ltd on July 2 and 13 respectively in 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the updated details of cable broadcasters till December 15, 2015, the ministry has also included the newly licensed cable operators.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, Anil Bhujel, Engineer of Department of Cable Television and Films of MoIC, said that the ministry had only renewed the licenses and has not issued new ones.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to him, the licenses that were received before closing the issuance have been canceled, and new license was issued by charging some fines.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&ldquo;Analog cable television licenses were canceled for failure of timely renewal,&rdquo; he said, adding, &ldquo;But they were still in operation at that time.&rdquo; He further said that license was given only to those few cable television companies and it has also been closed lately.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">By amending the National Broadcasting Regulations for the sixth time in 2013, the government had made a provision to shift to digital system from the analog cable technology within three years in metropolises and sub-metropolises, four years in municipalities and five years in other areas through a notice published in Nepal Gazette.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">April 2: All life and non-life insurance companies operating in the country will have to increase their paid-up capital by four folds within mid-July 2018. Insurance Board (IB), the insurance sector regulator of the country, formulated the mechanism regarding the required paid-up capital on March 31. Meanwhile, stakeholders have applauded the move of IB saying that the move taken will strengthen the insurance companies and increase their shock absorbing capacity. Presently, nine life insurance companies and 15 non-life insurance companies are operating in the domestic market.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As per the new mechanism, life insurance companies will have to maintain a minimum paid-up capital of Rs two billion, while non-life insurance companies need to raise their minimum paid-up capital to Rs one billion within the stipulated timeframe. Earlier, the minimum paid-up capital requirement was Rs 500 million and Rs 250 million for life and non-life insurance companies respectively. &ldquo;The required minimum paid-up capital of the insurance companies was not raised in last 7/8 years.&nbsp; Thus, in order to synchronize the insurance sector with the current economical growth, the insurance companies are asked to raise their minimum paid-up capital,&rdquo; said Chiranjibi Chapagain, Chairman of IB. &ldquo;The step aims to strengthen the insurance companies to the extent that they become capable of taking bigger risks.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">IB has provided options of distributing bonus shares and right shares from the profits of the companies along with merger process to the insurance companies to raise their minimum paid-up capital by the next 16 months. &ldquo;Insurance companies will have to distribute bonus, issue right shares or merge with other companies to meet the minimum paid-up capital,&rdquo; said Chairman Chapagain. The new mechanism is applicable to foreign companies that are functioning in Nepal as well.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Among the insurance companies operating in the country, only Nepal Life Insurance Company (NLIC) has been able to raise its paid-up capital to Rs 3.09 billion after distributing 25 percent bonus shares announced by recently held annual general meeting.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;After the lower house of parliament of India passed the bill on Wednesday, it is certain that this will be implemented from July 1.&nbsp; The bill will now be sent to the upper house for approval.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The bill will be implemented in all the states of India within three months after its approval by the Indian Parliament.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Economists analyse that this step of Indian government to change the tax system in a bid to strengthen the economy will also help Nepal&#39;s economy which is turning import-oriented.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to Shambhu Gupta, Professor at the Economics Department of Tribhuvan University, single rated GST will make the import and export process from India organised and systematic.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Gupta further shares that if GST will be implemented, the transport cost while importing from other countries will come down. &quot;Besides this, the cost of finished goods and raw materials will also decrease and will reduce the price of goods in Nepalese market,&quot; he says.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">India has been charging various taxes including state entrance tax, service tax and transportation tax.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, it is expected that the replacement of all those indirect taxes by GST will create positive impact in the import and export of Nepal.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&quot;Prior to this decision also, there was no tax in terms of import.&nbsp; However, we had to pay various kinds of service taxes. We expect that this decision will provide us some relief now,&quot; shares Pashupati Murarka, President of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI).&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It is expected that the implementation of this tax system will help strengthen the economy of Nepal which depends on India for its two thirds of total imports.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to the sluggish works of the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA), the service provider has not yet been fixed as six months have already passed after asking for the applications.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">For the installation of optical fiber for the first time in those places, the Authority had asked for applications from service providers on September 29, 2016. Though the application was to be filed till November 11, NTA extended the deadline to January 10, 2017 and received applications till the date. On that time period, two telecommunications service providers and one internet service providers proposed for auction bidding.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A committee was formed with different department officials from the Authority for the analysis of the received applications. The six members under the coordination of Purushottam Khanal, Director of NTA submitted the analysis report a week before to Digambar Jha, Chairman of NTA.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the basis of recommendations made by the committee, the Authority can select one particular company for letter of intent (LOI) or can cancel it. Jha said that he has not studied the report till date, however, the decision will be made by April 6.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the application filed by the service providers at NTA, Ncell, WorldLink and UTL have expressed their interests to invest Rs 2.71 billion, Rs 2.50 billion and Rs 2.01 billion respectively.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, NTA has made it clear that the project will be given to a company which can conclude the project at reasonable cost and which is technically capable. The selected company will get auctioned bid amount as grant from the Rural Telecommunication Development Fund (RTDF).</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">April 2: The Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) has been found issuing licenses to analog cable operators against its own decision earlier to close down operation of analog cable.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">MoIC, through a minister-level decision had decided to close the operation of cable television based on analog technology in all the metropolises and sub-metropolises from April 14, 2013 and across the country from April 14, 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The ministry is found to provide licenses to operate analog cable television to New Home Vision on April 21 and Cable Television Network of Nepal Pvt. Ltd. on April 22, 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, the ministry has also issued license to Yangshila Cable TV Network Pvt. Ltd. and Alka Cable Network Pvt. Ltd on July 2 and 13 respectively in 2015.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the updated details of cable broadcasters till December 15, 2015, the ministry has also included the newly licensed cable operators.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, Anil Bhujel, Engineer of Department of Cable Television and Films of MoIC, said that the ministry had only renewed the licenses and has not issued new ones.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to him, the licenses that were received before closing the issuance have been canceled, and new license was issued by charging some fines.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&ldquo;Analog cable television licenses were canceled for failure of timely renewal,&rdquo; he said, adding, &ldquo;But they were still in operation at that time.&rdquo; He further said that license was given only to those few cable television companies and it has also been closed lately.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">By amending the National Broadcasting Regulations for the sixth time in 2013, the government had made a provision to shift to digital system from the analog cable technology within three years in metropolises and sub-metropolises, four years in municipalities and five years in other areas through a notice published in Nepal Gazette.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">April 2: All life and non-life insurance companies operating in the country will have to increase their paid-up capital by four folds within mid-July 2018. Insurance Board (IB), the insurance sector regulator of the country, formulated the mechanism regarding the required paid-up capital on March 31. Meanwhile, stakeholders have applauded the move of IB saying that the move taken will strengthen the insurance companies and increase their shock absorbing capacity. Presently, nine life insurance companies and 15 non-life insurance companies are operating in the domestic market.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As per the new mechanism, life insurance companies will have to maintain a minimum paid-up capital of Rs two billion, while non-life insurance companies need to raise their minimum paid-up capital to Rs one billion within the stipulated timeframe. Earlier, the minimum paid-up capital requirement was Rs 500 million and Rs 250 million for life and non-life insurance companies respectively. &ldquo;The required minimum paid-up capital of the insurance companies was not raised in last 7/8 years.&nbsp; Thus, in order to synchronize the insurance sector with the current economical growth, the insurance companies are asked to raise their minimum paid-up capital,&rdquo; said Chiranjibi Chapagain, Chairman of IB. &ldquo;The step aims to strengthen the insurance companies to the extent that they become capable of taking bigger risks.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">IB has provided options of distributing bonus shares and right shares from the profits of the companies along with merger process to the insurance companies to raise their minimum paid-up capital by the next 16 months. &ldquo;Insurance companies will have to distribute bonus, issue right shares or merge with other companies to meet the minimum paid-up capital,&rdquo; said Chairman Chapagain. The new mechanism is applicable to foreign companies that are functioning in Nepal as well.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Among the insurance companies operating in the country, only Nepal Life Insurance Company (NLIC) has been able to raise its paid-up capital to Rs 3.09 billion after distributing 25 percent bonus shares announced by recently held annual general meeting.</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">March 31: The lower house of Indian parliament has passed four supplementary bills related to Goods and Service Tax (GST).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;After the lower house of parliament of India passed the bill on Wednesday, it is certain that this will be implemented from July 1.&nbsp; The bill will now be sent to the upper house for approval.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The bill will be implemented in all the states of India within three months after its approval by the Indian Parliament.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Economists analyse that this step of Indian government to change the tax system in a bid to strengthen the economy will also help Nepal&#39;s economy which is turning import-oriented.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to Shambhu Gupta, Professor at the Economics Department of Tribhuvan University, single rated GST will make the import and export process from India organised and systematic.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Gupta further shares that if GST will be implemented, the transport cost while importing from other countries will come down. &quot;Besides this, the cost of finished goods and raw materials will also decrease and will reduce the price of goods in Nepalese market,&quot; he says.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">India has been charging various taxes including state entrance tax, service tax and transportation tax.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, it is expected that the replacement of all those indirect taxes by GST will create positive impact in the import and export of Nepal.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&quot;Prior to this decision also, there was no tax in terms of import.&nbsp; However, we had to pay various kinds of service taxes. We expect that this decision will provide us some relief now,&quot; shares Pashupati Murarka, President of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI).&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It is expected that the implementation of this tax system will help strengthen the economy of Nepal which depends on India for its two thirds of total imports.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to the sluggish works of the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA), the service provider has not yet been fixed as six months have already passed after asking for the applications.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">For the installation of optical fiber for the first time in those places, the Authority had asked for applications from service providers on September 29, 2016. Though the application was to be filed till November 11, NTA extended the deadline to January 10, 2017 and received applications till the date. On that time period, two telecommunications service providers and one internet service providers proposed for auction bidding.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A committee was formed with different department officials from the Authority for the analysis of the received applications. The six members under the coordination of Purushottam Khanal, Director of NTA submitted the analysis report a week before to Digambar Jha, Chairman of NTA.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the basis of recommendations made by the committee, the Authority can select one particular company for letter of intent (LOI) or can cancel it. Jha said that he has not studied the report till date, however, the decision will be made by April 6.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the application filed by the service providers at NTA, Ncell, WorldLink and UTL have expressed their interests to invest Rs 2.71 billion, Rs 2.50 billion and Rs 2.01 billion respectively.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, NTA has made it clear that the project will be given to a company which can conclude the project at reasonable cost and which is technically capable. The selected company will get auctioned bid amount as grant from the Rural Telecommunication Development Fund (RTDF).</p>
