From Village to Victory: How Rajan K.C. from Okhaldhunga Mastered Nepal’s Share Market
From Village to Victory: How Rajan K.C. from Okhaldhunga Mastered Nepal’s Share Market Born in a small village in Okhaldhunga, Rajan K.C. never dreamed of sitting in a fancy office or flying abroad for a job. What he did instead was far more inspiring: he built a successful career in Nepal’s share market from scratch — all from his mobile phone. Rajan’s journey began in 2016 (2073 B.S.) when he came across a Facebook post mentioning the “NEPSE” index. Curious and clueless, he dived into YouTube videos and online news articles, eventually figuring out how to apply for his first IPO — that of Kapilvastu Cement.

Land Transactions No Longer Require Bank Statements: Department Revises Rule Within a Week
Land Transactions No Longer Require Bank Statements: Department Revises Rule Within a Week In a swift policy reversal, the Department of Land Management and Archive under the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, and Poverty Alleviation has amended its recent directive. Buyers and sellers are no longer required to submit bank statements during land and property transactions. The department issued a public notice on Sunday stating that the earlier instruction—issued just a week ago on May 2 (Jestha 20)—making bank statements mandatory, has now been withdrawn. The initial rule was introduced as part of efforts to improve financial transparency and meet the standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to help remove Nepal from its grey list. However, after widespread criticism and direct concern expressed by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, the department has decided to relax the regulation for more practical implementation.
