What is Fiscal Year (Aarthik Barsha)?
आर्थिक वर्ष
Nepal's fiscal year runs from 1 Shrawan to the end of Ashadh in the Bikram Sambat calendar — roughly mid-July to mid-July of the next year. The government budget is presented for each fiscal year, written for example as FY 2082/83.
Because it follows BS, the fiscal year straddles two Gregorian years (about mid-July to mid-July). Tax returns and the federal budget are organised around it.
FY 2082/83, for instance, corresponds to roughly mid-July 2025 to mid-July 2026.

Definitions explain standard Nepali terms in everyday and official use. Land-unit conversions follow the standard Nepali measurement system; tax and contribution rates reflect current law (Income Tax Act 2058, VAT Act 2052, Social Security Act 2074) and are revised each fiscal year by the Finance Act — always confirm current-year figures with the relevant authority.
