Nepal received more than Rs 436 billion in remittances during the first two months of the current fiscal year, according to figures reported by Nepali media outlets on October 15, 2026. Inflows in Bhadra alone reached Rs 221 billion, accounting for a substantial part of the total recorded over the two-month period.
Remittance inflows in the first two months
The reported figures show that remittances exceeded Rs 436 billion across the opening two months of the current fiscal year. The total includes the Rs 221 billion received in Bhadra, as reported by Nepal Lead and Thaha Khabar.
The reports provide two headline figures: the combined amount for the first two months and the monthly inflow for Bhadra. They do not specify the remittance total for the other month in the period, so the amount received in that month cannot be determined from the figures provided.
The reports also do not include a breakdown by source country, transfer channel or recipient. They give no comparison with the same period in the previous fiscal year, and do not state whether the figures reflect a year-on-year increase or decrease.
What the reported figures show
Bhadra’s Rs 221 billion represents a little over half of the reported two-month total, based on the minimum total of Rs 436 billion. Because the overall figure is described as more than Rs 436 billion, the exact share may be lower than that estimate. The reports do not provide a more precise total from which to calculate an exact proportion.
The figures offer a snapshot of remittance receipts during the opening part of the fiscal year, but do not by themselves explain the factors behind the inflows or their effect on households and the wider economy. No additional detail on those matters was included in the reports cited for this update.
The reported total is therefore best understood as a measure of the money received over the two-month period, with Bhadra accounting for Rs 221 billion. Further figures would be needed to assess how the latest inflows compare with earlier periods or how they are distributed.
