Nepal’s real estate transactions generated almost 12 arba rupees in revenue during the month of Asar, making it the highest collection for the fiscal year.
The past month of Asar saw a remarkable collection of Rs 11 arba 94 crore 89 lakh 74 thousand 454 in revenue from real estate dealings across the country. According to the Department of Land Management and Archives, who keeps track of nationwide transactions, this amount represents the highest revenue collection for the fiscal year 2082/83.
Monthly Revenue Performance
The department has released a detailed report showing the revenue collected throughout the year. Looking back to Shrawan 2082, the collection stood at Rs 3 arba 28 crore 91 lakh 38 thousand 242. This figure then slightly dropped in Bhadra, with only Rs 3 arba 14 crore 7 lakh 16 thousand 335 being recorded.
Revenue collections were lower during Ashoj and Kartik. The government’s account received Rs 2 arba 75 crore 85 lakh 57 thousand 927 in Ashoj, and Rs 2 arba 74 crore 51 lakh 72 thousand 199 in Kartik. Following this, Mangsir saw a rise to Rs 4 arba 84 crore 81 lakh 54 thousand 832, and Poush continued the upward trend with Rs 5 arba 17 crore 32 lakh 14 thousand 222 collected from real estate.

Baisakh registered the second highest collection of Rs 6 arba 26 crore 38 lakh 29 thousand 873 for the fiscal year, and Jestha saw Rs 5 arba 24 crore 42 lakh 51 thousand 101 deposited.
Why the Surge in Asar?
The significant improvement in real estate transactions during Asar directly led to this impressive increase in revenue collection. It is widely believe that the surge was triggered by a budget announcement to hike the capital gains tax on real estate transactions starting from Shrawan 1. This anticipated change encouraged many to complete their transactions before the new tax rates came into effect.
The department’s records show that the Rs 11 arba 94 crore 89 lakh 74 thousand 454 collected in Asar marks the highest revenue generated from real estate transactions since the Corona period and the Gorkha Earthquake.
