Kathmandu. The government has extended the time to register mobile phones in the Mobile Device Management System (MDMS) till mid-August.

According to the Ministry of Finance, it has been decided to extend the deadline given by the Economic Act 2080 by one month to middle of August.

Nepal Telecommunication Authority has implemented such a system. It is mentioned in the notification of the ministry that the cellular mobiles which could not be registered in this system due to various reasons can be registered by this period.
