What This Service Covers
Technology transfer is a distinct Department of Industry approval route for a Nepali company using foreign technology, know-how, brand, franchise or technical services where payment is due abroad.
The agreement, rights evidence, payment terms and foreign-party authority should be checked together before payment obligations begin.
What Our Service Includes
- Agreement and application preparation and approval coordination within the agreed engagement.
- A route check to distinguish technology transfer from an equity-investment or ordinary commercial-contract arrangement before payment obligations begin.
- Coordination only; royalty, tax and banking decisions remain with the relevant authority, bank and client.
Who It Is For
- Companies considering a foreign counterparty arrangement that includes royalties, licence fees or other payment abroad.
- Nepali companies licensing foreign technology, brands, franchise rights or technical services.
- Companies preparing an agreement that may require DOI review before royalty or other outbound payments are made.
What Is Not Assumed
- DOI approval, tax treatment, foreign-exchange processing and a bank's payment decision are not guaranteed by this service.
- Equity investment is the separate FDI route.
- Trademark registration, commercial negotiation and outbound-payment approval are separate matters.
KEY ROUTE DECISIONS FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER APPROVAL
- Intended audience: Nepali companies licensing foreign rights.
- Primary authority or route: DOI; Nepal Rastra Bank.
- Core route definition: Technology transfer is a distinct Department of Industry approval route for a Nepali company using foreign technology, know-how, brand, franchise or technical services where payment is due abroad.
- Main dependency: Whether evidence that the foreign party can grant the technology or brand rights is ready for filing.

Technology transfer approval process
Confirm the route before payment obligations start. DOI may require agreement changes during its review.
Confirm the arrangement Before signing
Confirm whether the transaction is technology transfer, foreign investment or an ordinary commercial contract.
Prepare the agreement Depends on both parties
Prepare the scope, duration, payment and termination terms for the approval route.
File the application Depends on documents
File the agreement, Nepali-company documents and foreign-party documents with DOI.
Respond to DOI review Authority-dependent
DOI may seek changes before it decides whether to approve the agreement.
Establish payment arrangements Bank-dependent
Address the foreign-exchange and withholding-tax position before royalty or fee payments are made abroad.
Manage agreement changes When terms change
Consider the approval implications of an extension, amendment or renewal.
Information to prepare
