Land Revenue Office in Nepalgunj Collects Over Rs 74 Crore in Last Fiscal Year

The Land Administration Office in Nepalgunj, Banke, collected over Rs 74 Crore 86 lakhs in revenue during the fiscal year 2082/83. The office continues to operate from a rented building on Bidyut Road after its original premise and documents were destroyed in an arson attack during a 'Gen-Z' protest on September 9, 2025. According to Office Chief Santosh BK, capital gains tax was the largest income source, generating Rs 37 crore 40 lakhs. Registration fees brought in Rs 36 crore 90 lakhs, while service and administrative charges contributed Rs 54 lakhs 23 thousand. The remaining revenue came from minor fees, including form sales, judicial costs, fines, and security deposits. Despite operating from temporary quarters, the office managed large volumes of property transfers, land ownership registration, and legal updates. Additionally, officials successfully restored land ownership certificate records for 31,189 affected landowners. Office Chief BK assured the public that services remain prompt, barring occasional delays caused by issues in the department's online system.
