Money and dates
Every amount is exact
All money is held as a whole number of paisa — hundredths of a rupee — never as a decimal that can drift. When an amount is split, one part is calculated and the other is whatever is left, so the parts always add back up to the total. A quotation cannot fail to reconcile by a paisa.
Paisa means two unrelated things in this business. In money it is 1/100 of a rupee. In hill-system land area it is a quarter of an aana. They are never the same quantity, and this site never writes “paisa” without saying which one it means.
How amounts are written
| Kind of amount | How it appears |
|---|---|
| An exact amount — quoted, invoiced, paid, refunded | Rs 1,250,000.00 — always two decimals |
| An indicative price | from Rs 3,500 — no decimals, and marked as indicative |
| Inside a printed report | Rs 12,50,000.00 — the lakh and crore grouping the Nepali bank formats use |
The public fee estimator keeps its two decimals, because the figure it showed you is kept as evidence if there is ever a disagreement about what you were quoted.
Fees and milestones
The field-visit fee
A standalone charge for the site visit — commonly around NPR 1,000 for a valuation. It is never counted towards the report fee. It is always collected; only the timing varies:
- Priority — paid online when you make the request. The visit is scheduled sooner.
- Standard — paid before the visit, or on site by QR or cash.
The surveyor records the full fee. The platform works out the surveyor’s share — 80% by default — on its own.
The report fee
Split into milestones, 70% advance and 30% on completion by default. A firm can change that.
A milestone is settled once what is recorded against it adds up to its amount. That can include more than cash: an online payment, a bank transfer, tax withheld at source (up to the firm’s share), or a small write-off recorded by finance.
Ways to pay
- Online — eSewa, Khalti, FonePay and Connect IPS.
- Bank transfer — recorded by the Case Manager or finance.
- Cash — recorded, confirmed and banked through the system, not off the books.
- QR on site — for the visit fee, straight to the firm’s account.
Nepali rupees are the only currency. A client abroad pays by bank transfer, recorded manually.
If a payment screen fails and you retry, the platform recognises it as the same payment. A retry never records the money twice — this holds for online payments, for a Case Manager recording cash, and for a surveyor’s phone syncing hours later.
Every date, twice
Every date appears in both Bikram Sambat and Gregorian, each labelled:
3 Jestha 2082 (B.S.) · 16 May 2026 (A.D.)
This is the only place the interface is bilingual. Everything else is in English in this phase.
The platform stores one moment in time and works out both calendars from it, so the two can never disagree. There is one deliberate exception: once a report is issued, its printed dates are frozen exactly as they were rendered, so that a later change to a conversion table can never alter a document already in someone’s hands.
Nepal time decides the day
Anything that turns on which day something happened — a deadline, a validity period, a building’s age — is worked out in Nepal time (UTC+5:45, no daylight saving). An action late in the evening can therefore belong to the next Nepali day. That is correct, not a bug.
The codes you will be asked to quote
| Code | What it identifies |
|---|---|
CASE-000123 | A file. This is the number to quote when you ring your consultancy. |
CLI-, PROP- | A client, a property. |
QUO-, PAY- | A quotation, a payment. |
INV-2082-0041 | An invoice. The middle part is the Nepali fiscal year. |
CN-2082-0007 | A credit note. |
| Report reference | Firm code, fiscal year, sequence — printed on the report itself. |
The yearly series restart on 1 Shrawan, the beginning of the Nepali fiscal year. A code is never reused, even if a file is cancelled — that file keeps its number for good.
