The Ministry of Finance has directed all line ministries to submit their programs and budget proposals through the Line Ministry Budget Information System (LMBIS) by March 29 for the upcoming fiscal year 2026/27. Spokesperson Tanka Prasad Pandey said budget ceilings have already been communicated despite delays in government formation. The National Planning Commission has proposed a preliminary budget ceiling of around USD 18.9 billion. Although political uncertainty has slowed policy formulation, the constitution requires the budget to be presented in Parliament on May 29.
