SEBON Eases Seed Capital Rules for Mutual Funds, Signals Shift Toward Performance-Based Regulation
SEBON Eases Seed Capital Rules for Mutual Funds, Signals Shift Toward Performance-Based Regulation Kathmandu – Nepal Securities Board (SEBON) has taken a significant policy step by easing the seed capital requirement for mutual fund schemes, marking a clear shift toward performance-based regulation in Nepal’s capital market. The decision allows qualified and experienced fund managers to operate new schemes and issue additional units with lower seed capital, departing from the long-standing uniform requirement of 15 percent. Under the revised framework, fund managers with a proven track record can now operate schemes by investing either 10 percent or, in certain cases, as low as 5 percent seed capital. Previously, the same 15 percent threshold applied to all mutual funds, regardless of experience, scale, or past performance. By introducing differentiated requirements, SEBON has attempted to recognize operational maturity and reward consistent performance within the mutual fund industry.

Is Thailand Rejecting Nepali Visas? Bangkok Visa Truth Revealed
Yes — in 2026, Thailand has become noticeably stricter about tourist visa approvals for Nepali passport holders, especially for visits to Bangkok and other tourist destinations. However, it’s not that Thailand is randomly rejecting Nepali visas; rather, the visa rejection rate has increased because the Royal Thai Embassy Kathmandu is enforcing stronger authenticity checks on travel and financial documents. The truth is that visas are being refused when applications include unverifiable, fake, or incomplete supporting documents. If you understand what the embassy is looking for and prepare your application properly, you can still secure a Thailand visa successfully.

Nepali Travelers Facing Thailand Visa Rejection: Real Reasons Explained
In 2026, a growing number of Nepali travelers are facing Thailand tourist visa rejections, especially for Bangkok, due to major changes in document verification and application scrutiny. The Royal Thai Embassy Kathmandu has significantly tightened its evaluation process, and applications that were previously accepted are now being refused if they fail to meet updated authenticity standards.

Thailand (Bangkok) Visa Rejection Reasons for Nepalese Passport Holders – Updated for 2026
In 2026, many Nepalese passport holders are experiencing higher rejection rates for Thailand (Bangkok) tourist visasbecause the Royal Thai Embassy Kathmandu has introduced stricter document verification and eligibility checks. One of the biggest reasons for visa refusal is the submission of dummy flight tickets or unverified travel itineraries. The embassy now requires an active flight ticket with a valid PNR that can be authenticated directly through the airline system. Temporary reservations, cancelable mock tickets, or screenshots that cannot be verified online are no longer accepted and can lead to immediate rejection.

Rice Output Projected to Decline as Area and Productivity Shrink
Rice Output Projected to Decline as Area and Productivity Shrink Nepal’s rice production is expected to fall this year, reflecting a combination of reduced cultivated area and lower productivity, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. The ministry has projected that total paddy output in the current year will be 250,350 metric tons lower than last year, highlighting growing structural and climatic challenges facing the country’s most important food crop. Officials estimate that rice production this year will reach 5.705 million metric tons, down from 5.955 million metric tons recorded last year. This represents a 4.2 percent decline year-on-year, a significant drop for a crop that remains central to Nepal’s food security and rural economy. The ministry attributes the decrease primarily to a contraction in both cultivated land and yield per hectare.
