"Nepal's Electronic Commerce Act 2081 (2025) is now in force — Act No. 13 of 2081, assented 16 March 2025 and effective from its 31st day. This guide explains the mandatory listing of e-commerce platforms on the Department of Commerce portal, the disclosure and grievance duties, electronic contracts, seller obligations, the penalties (up to NPR 500,000 and 3 years), and how it layers on the Consumer Protection Act 2075 and ETA 2063."
"Registering an e-commerce business in Nepal now takes two steps — company registration at the Office of Company Registrar under the Companies Act 2063, and a separate listing on the Department of Commerce e-commerce portal under the Electronic Commerce Act 2081 (2025). This 2026 guide covers the steps, documents, fees, PAN/VAT, the new platform-disclosure duties, and the penalties for operating unlisted."
