Ministry Secretary Highlights Revenue Collection and Legal Ambiguities Contributing to Audit Discrepancies

Kathmandu. Secretary of the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, and Poverty Alleviation, Madan Bhujel, stated that the land ministry's audit discrepancies are more related to the revenue collection process than the expenditure.

On Monday, addressing the Public Accounts Committee, he mentioned that although the ministry collects approximately 50 billion rupees in revenue annually, audit discrepancies have increased due to legal ambiguities concerning income tax, capital gains tax, and land transactions.
