Overview
Nepal's social security allowance is paid to categories of people defined in law and is registered and distributed through the ward offices of local levels. Eligibility categories, allowance amounts and payment schedules are set by government policy and are revised from time to time, so always confirm the current rules with your ward office or the official sources listed below before you apply.
What you usually need to bring
- Citizenship certificate (original, with a photocopy)
- Recent passport-sized photographs
- Proof of residence in the ward, if requested
- Supporting documents for your category — for example a disability identity card, where applicable
Your ward office confirms the exact document list for your category.
