Banking Khabar / The recent launch of the Mero Kitta application, the Government of Nepal has moved a step further toward digitizing public services by requiring banks and financial institutions to process payments for government fees and revenue collections through the platform. The provision has been enforced through an amendment to the Unified Directive 2082 issued by the Regulation Department of Nepal Rastra Bank.
Under the revised directive, all licensed banks and financial institutions are now required to conduct designated transactions through the Mero Kitta system. In practical terms, fees and revenues associated with land administration services such as obtaining cadastral maps, field books, plot registers, and other documents from Survey Offices as well as charges for related services provided by local governments, must be paid through the digital platform.
To facilitate the process, concerned institutions are required to register themselves as institutional users within the system. The move is aimed at strengthening transparency, minimizing the risks associated with cash-based and informal transactions, and enhancing the efficiency of digital governance. By channeling payments through a single digital gateway, the government hopes to streamline service delivery while promoting greater accountability in public revenue collection.
