Seven Types of Income: Understanding How Wealth Is Built

There are seven major types of income that individuals can earn. The most common is earned income, which comes from working a job or providing services. Profit income is earned by selling products or services for a gain. Interest income comes from lending money or keeping savings in a bank. Rental income is generated by leasing out real estate or property. Capital gains occur when you sell assets like stocks or land at a higher price than you paid. Dividend income is paid by companies to shareholders as a portion of their profits. Finally, royalty income is earned from intellectual property such as books, music, or inventions. Diversifying across these income streams can provide financial stability, passive income, and long-term wealth growth.

A Deep Dive into the Budget-Making Tradition and Process Each year on Jestha 15 the Government of Nepal unveils the national budget, a crucial document that charts the country's economic, development, and policy roadmap for the upcoming fiscal year.

But why not at 10 AM? This has become a point of growing public curiosity and criticism. To understand the timing tradition, it's essential to examine the history, constitution, logistics, and administrative process surrounding budget formulation and disclosure in Nepal.
