Nepal Rastra Bank has called on eligible financial institutions to apply for hosting Rs 9.35 billion in fixed deposits from its pension and gratuity fund for a one-year term. Of the total amount, Rs 7.48 billion is allocated to commercial banks, Rs 1.40 billion to development banks, and Rs 467.5 million to finance companies. Participating institutions must maintain capital adequacy standards and keep non-performing loans below 8 percent. The move supports liquidity management while safeguarding the central bank’s long-term financial obligations.
