Now the vehicles made in Nepal will be registered and named

The Transport Management Department has amended the Transport Management Procedures Guideline 2060 and has made arrangements for the registration of vehicles made in Nepal and manufactured in Nepal.
The Department of Transportation has issued a notification and informed that the procedural guidelines have been amended and from now on, vehicles made in Nepal and produced in Nepal can be registered.

In the revised traffic management procedure manual, new vehicles made in Nepal, registration, auction registration, naming, etc. are covered.

In the procedure manual it is mentioned that ‘regardless of what is written in this manual, the customs declaration of such vehicles will not be required for purposes such as new registration, transfer registration, modification registration, auction registration, re-registration and name transfer of vehicles assembled in Nepal or manufactured in Nepal.

Similarly, in the second point of the directive it is mentioned that, for the registration, transfer registration, alteration registration, auction registration, re-registration and naming of vehicles assembled or produced in Nepal, the assembly or manufacturing company shall submit the value added tax declaration instead of the customs declaration and the vehicle attracting excise duty provisions according to the prevailing law. It has been mentioned that it has been arranged to submit the excise duty clearance form as well.

After this amendment made by the Department of Transport Management in the Transport Management Procedures Guide 2060, the way for registration, re-registration, auction registration of vehicles made in Nepal has become easier.
