Kathmandu: Government has made public the names of individuals and companies that have failed for years to clear outstanding payments owed to the state, in a move officials describe as a final warning before legal recovery begins.
The Kumari Chowk and Central Treasury Office issued a public notice disclosing a list of 52 people and firms, including detailed identification across three generations, after repeated letters and online notices failed to bring them forward to settle their liabilities.
Authorities have given those listed 35 days from the date of publication to pay the full principal amount along with interest required under existing regulations.
The notice states that if payments are not made within that deadline, the government will initiate recovery through the seizure of movable and immovable property in accordance with prevailing laws.
It also clarifies that the office will not be held responsible for any financial or social consequences faced by the defaulters during the enforcement process.
The list spans a wide cross-section of sectors, including construction contractors, trading firms, government employees, and foreign companies.
Among those named are several major construction businesses such as Khumbu Construction, Lokpriya Nirman Sewa, M.M. Construction Company, and Mahadev Khimti Nirman Sewa linked to the president of the Federation of Contractors’ Associations, Ravi Singh.
International firms are also included, such as Texana Resources from the United States, Emirates Associated Business Group from the UAE, and BBB Champions Oil Company, all cited for failing to pay government dues.
Individuals like Armed Police Force officer Manoj Thapa and Piyush Amatya of Fulbari Resort, along with business operators from multiple districts and people connected to public service, also appear on the list, underscoring the government’s effort to show that enforcement will cut across sectors and status.
