Money

Most of us deal with these systems every single month without ever having them explained. SSF comes out of your payslip, tax comes out of what's left, and somewhere there's a CIT or provident fund account you opened once and haven't looked at since. The official documentation is written for accountants. Most of what ranks on Google is a law firm's marketing page that skips anything inconvenient.

This category is the opposite of that: plain-language guides to how money and work actually function in Nepal — what you pay, what you get back, what's locked up, and where the real gaps are. It sits outside my usual marketing writing, and that's deliberate. These are the posts I went looking for myself and couldn't find, written honestly enough to include the parts that are genuinely annoying. If anything here is out of date, or your own experience went differently, tell me and I'll update it.
