Proposal on Estimates of Revenue and Expenditures presented in HoR

Kathmandu, June 15: Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel has presented a proposal in the House of Representatives (HoR) seeking a general discussion on the Annual Estimates of Revenue and Expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year 2025-26.     

While presenting the proposal in today's meeting of the HoR, he said tax has been removed to promote the production of organic and farm manure and encourage digital payments, and that the implementation of the budget will increase economic activities.     

When Finance Minister Paudel was presenting the proposal, MP Rajendra Pandey demanded to sort out the issue as the minister's statements could not be heard due to the chanting of slogans by the MPs, and then only carry on with the House proceedings.     

The meeting of the House of Representatives is underway amidst the chanting of slogans by the members of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). General discussions are taking place regarding the annual estimates of revenue and expenditure. (RSS)
