31 August 2026 is Bhadra 15, 2083 (भदौ 15, 2083). From Shrawan onwards, the fiscal year and the Bikram Sambat year share a number.
The twelve months of FY 2083/84
Shrawan first, Ashad last, which is the order payroll runs in. Bikram Sambat months are 29 to 32 days and do not line up with Gregorian month boundaries.
| Month | Days | Gregorian span |
|---|---|---|
| Shrawan 2083 · साउन | 31 | 17 July 2026 to 16 August 2026 |
| Bhadra 2083 · भदौ | 31 | 17 August 2026 to 16 September 2026 |
| Ashwin 2083 · असोज | 31 | 17 September 2026 to 17 October 2026 |
| Kartik 2083 · कात्तिक | 30 | 18 October 2026 to 16 November 2026 |
| Mangsir 2083 · मंसिर | 29 | 17 November 2026 to 15 December 2026 |
| Poush 2083 · पुस | 30 | 16 December 2026 to 14 January 2027 |
| Magh 2083 · माघ | 29 | 15 January 2027 to 12 February 2027 |
| Falgun 2083 · फागुन | 30 | 13 February 2027 to 14 March 2027 |
| Chaitra 2083 · चैत | 30 | 15 March 2027 to 13 April 2027 |
| Baishakh 2084 · वैशाख | 31 | 14 April 2027 to 14 May 2027 |
| Jestha 2084 · जेठ | 31 | 15 May 2027 to 14 June 2027 |
| Ashad 2084 · असार | 32 | 15 June 2027 to 16 July 2027 |
Ashad 2084 has not been gazetted yet, so the closing date above is this calendar table’s best answer rather than a published one. Confirm the last day of Ashad against the official Nepali patro before you set a statutory deadline by it.
A Date In, The Fiscal Year Out
The fiscal year is not the Bikram Sambat year. Three BS months belong to the fiscal year that started the previous Shrawan, which is where most of the confusion comes from.
- 1
Pick a calendar
Enter a Gregorian date if you are working from a bank statement or an invoice, or a Bikram Sambat date if you are working from a Nepali document. Both give the same answer.
- 2
Read the fiscal year
The answer card names the fiscal year, its Shrawan start and Ashad end in both calendars, and how far through it the date sits. Today it reads FY 2083/84.
- 3
Check the month it lands in
The table lists the twelve Bikram Sambat months in payroll order, Shrawan first, with each month's Gregorian span and length. The month containing your date is highlighted.
- 4
Mind Baishakh, Jestha and Ashad
Those three are BS months 1, 2 and 3, so they look like the start of a year. They are the end of one: a date in Baishakh 2084 is in FY 2083/84, not FY 2084/85.

The Fiscal Year Is Nepal's HR Year
Almost every annual cycle in a Nepali company is defined on this year rather than on the Gregorian one, which is why the boundary is worth knowing exactly.
| Resets at Shrawan 1 | What that means | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Income tax slabs | Any budget change to the slabs applies from Shrawan 1, so a Gregorian-year payroll applies two slab tables inside one of its own years. | Finance Act, Schedule 1 |
| The leave year | Annual leave entitlement and the accrual clock start again, unless the employer has fixed a different leave year in writing. | Labour Act 2074, s.50 |
| The retirement deduction ceiling | The assessable income the PF, CIT and SSF deduction limit is measured against is this year's, not the calendar year's. | Income Tax Act 2058, s.63 |
| The bonus period | The annual bonus is computed on the profit of the Shrawan to Ashad year. | Bonus Act 2030 |
| The annual return period | The income tax return covers these twelve months. There are no tax quarters in Nepal, so nothing else subdivides it. | Income Tax Act 2058, s.96 |
Monthly obligations do not run on this clock. TDS deposit and the SSF contribution are both due within 25 days of the end of each Nepali month, every month of the year.
Three Things That Catch People Out
The fiscal year is not the BS year
Bikram Sambat years start at Baishakh. Fiscal years start at Shrawan, four months later. So for a third of every BS year the two carry different numbers, and 'FY 2083/84' names a period that begins in BS 2083 and ends in BS 2084.
The end date is not a fixed day
Ashad has 29 to 32 days depending on the year, so the fiscal year does not end on the same Gregorian date twice. FY 2083/84 ends 16 July 2027; the year before ended a day earlier in July, and the year after ends a day earlier again.
Nepal has no tax quarters
Quarterly filing is an Indian and Western convention that does not exist here. The obligations that repeat are monthly, and the one that closes the year is annual. Anything describing a Nepali 'Q1' has imported a calendar that does not apply.
Nepali Fiscal Year Questions
FY 2083/84. It started on Shrawan 1, 2083, which was 17 July 2026, and ends on Ashad 32, 2084, which is 16 July 2027.
आर्थिक वर्ष (arthik barsha). It is written as a pair of Bikram Sambat years, because it starts in one and ends in the next.
It starts on Shrawan 1 and ends on the last day of Ashad, so it runs roughly mid-July to mid-July. The exact Gregorian dates move by a day or two each year, because Bikram Sambat months are not a fixed length.
No. Baishakh is the start of the Bikram Sambat year, which is a different thing. The fiscal year starts four months later at Shrawan, so Baishakh, Jestha and Ashad are the closing quarter of the fiscal year that began the previous Shrawan.
No. There is no quarterly filing cycle in the Income Tax Act 2058. TDS deposit and SSF contribution are monthly, due within 25 days of each Nepali month end, and the income tax return is annual.
Bikram Sambat month lengths are gazetted a few years ahead, and this calendar table is confirmed through BS 2083. A fiscal year ending in Ashad of a later year is computed from the table's projection rather than from a published patro, so it is flagged rather than presented as settled.
