The provision has been amended that licensed manpower companies must send at least 100 workers for foreign employment per year. The provision that at least 100 workers must be sent for foreign employment has been amended in the 'Bill to amend some Nepal Acts' which was passed by the House of Representatives on Tuesday to amend 79 laws including the Foreign Employment Act at once.
Through the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs proposed to 'remove the provision of sending at least 100 workers per year' in the Bill-2080 to amend some Nepal Acts on 26 May 2080.
Amended provisions in the Foreign Employment Act
- for the selection of workers, advertisements should be published in national newspapers and on their website,
- 6 months of skill training through the National Vocational Training Institute

The bill that was passed after a long discussion to impose a fine of 50,000 rupees per person based on the number of victimized workers will now be submitted to the National Assembly. This bill passed by the House of Representatives Will go to the National Assembly. Like the House of Representatives, if the National Assembly also passes the bill brought by the government with this provision, the provision of not renewing the registration of manpower who cannot send 100 people per year will be repealed.
For the last three years, the Ministry of Labor had been renewing the manpower that could not send 100 workers, using the right to 'remove obstacles' given by Section 82 of the Foreign Employment Act. In the last financial year too, the Ministry of Labor renewed 258 manpower licenses, including 68 which had new permission not to send 100 workers per year, using the right of obstruction.
The Ministry of Labor has proposed to remove this section through the 'Bill to Amend Certain Nepal Acts' saying that it cannot use the right to remove obstacles every year. D (2) of Section 13 of the Foreign Employment Act amended by the Ministry of Labor on 075 Chait 19 states that the license will be canceled if 'one hundred workers cannot be sent annually for two consecutive years'.
The manpower businessmen were claiming that the renewal provision was impractical and it was causing problems to the workers. Rajendra Bhandari, the then president of Nepal Foreign Employment Professionals Association, said that the parliament addressed the impractical policy.
According to the bill passed by the House of Representatives, there are provisions to give a period of at least seven days for the selection of workers, to publish advertisements in the national level daily newspaper and on their website, to conduct skill-based training for up to 6 months through the National Vocational Training Institute, and to impose a fine of Rs 50,000 per person based on the number of affected workers.
