KATHMANDU, May 3: The government has recognized Ncell as the highest income taxpayer in Nepal’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. The recognition was awarded during a special ceremony held on Friday in Kathmandu to mark the 8th National ICT Day 2025.
Observed annually on May 2, National ICT Day promotes the growth and advancement of the ICT sector in Nepal. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli presented the certificate of honour to Punam Singh, Director of Marketing, Communications, and Sustainability at Ncell, at the event.
The accolade acknowledges Ncell’s substantial contribution to the nation by paying the highest amount of income tax in the ICT sector for the fiscal year 2023/24. This recognition highlights the company’s continued commitment to the development, expansion, and prosperity of the country’s ICT landscape.

“We are grateful to the government for recognising our contributions to the ICT sector on this special occasion of National ICT Day 2025. As one of the major taxpayers, Ncell has consistently made significant tax contributions across various categories. We are proud to support the growth of ICT and the country’s economic development. At Ncell, we remain committed to the Digital Nepal vision, aligned with our theme ‘Here for You, Here for Nepal,’” a press statement issued by Ncell quoted Jabbor Kayumov, CEO and Managing Director of Ncell, as saying.
Ncell has received similar accolades in the past, including recognition as the highest income taxpayer and overall highest taxpayer. In December last year, Lalitpur Metropolitan City also honoured Ncell as the top institutional taxpayer for the fiscal year 2023/24.
Since its inception, Ncell has contributed over NPR 340 billion in taxes and fees to the government. In the fiscal year 2023/24 alone, it paid NPR 20.30 billion.
Beyond its financial contributions, Ncell continues to invest in impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives through the Ncell Foundation. The company has invested over NPR 2 billion in CSR programs, reaching all seven provinces and benefiting more than 13 million people directly and indirectly across Nepal.
