The government has honoured Ncell as the highest income tax payer in the country’s information and communications technology (ICT) sector. The recognition was presented to Ncell during a special event held on Friday to mark the 8th National ICT Day 2025 in Kathmandu. Each year, May 2 is observed as ‘National ICT Day’ to promote the development and advancement of ICT in the country.
At the event, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli presented a certificate of honour to Punam Singh, Marketing, Communications, and Sustainability Director of Ncell. This accolade was conferred on Ncell in recognition of the company’s significant contribution to the nation by paying the highest amount of tax in the ICT sector for the fiscal year 2023-24, underscoring its outstanding role in the campaign for the development, expansion, and prosperity of Nepal’s ICT sector.
“We are grateful to the government for recognising our contributions to the ICT sector on this special National ICT Day 2025 occasion,” said Jabbor Kayumov, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Ncell. “As one of the major taxpayers, Ncell has been making substantial tax contributions to the government every year across various tax and fee categories.
