Dividend amounts can be taken out of Nepal within 15 days following approval by Nepal Rastra Bank at the recommendation of the Department.


The size of the dividend amount to be taken out of the country could increase this year in comparison to the previous, said Department’s Section Chief Shankar Singh Dhami.


“In the last FY, the Department had tightened the screw on foreign investment companies in taking money out of the country as dividends and royalties,” he said, adding it is relatively easy this year.
