OfficialICAN / MoF

The NNRFC distributes a Rs 90.2 अर्ब fiscal-equalisation grant across all 753 local governments this year. Grants are needs-based — population, HDI, area, infrastructure index, and revenue capacity. The range is wide: Rs 7.4 crore (Dudhpokhari R.M., Lamjung) to Rs 68.7 crore (Kathmandu Metropolitan City). Kathmandu Metropolitan City's figure above is the official NNRFC determination.

This metropolitan city receives money from the federal government, may receive a transfer from Bagmati Province, and can collect its own local revenue (taxes, fees, royalties). Nepal Next shows an Official or Verified figure only when it is backed by a source document. Pending means the money likely exists but we have not ingested the proof yet.

What this means: Nepal Next does not treat absence of proof as proof of failure. The money almost certainly exists — we simply cannot confirm amounts or confirm spending for Kathmandu Metropolitan City until these official documents are ingested and verified.
