The interim government has withdrawn the recent increase in medical examination fees for Nepalis seeking foreign employment following public backlash. Under the latest decision by the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security, the fee has been restored to NPR 6,400 from the earlier NPR 9,500 imposed after the Gen-Z movement. The ministry has clarified that no service provider is allowed to charge more than the fixed amount and warned of strict legal action against violators. The move aims to ease financial pressure on workers and curb arbitrary fee collection.
