The government is all set to implement Mobile Management Device System (MDMS) from Shrawan 1. Speaking at the 2077/78 BS budget announcement, Finance Minister Bishnu Prashad Paudel said that MDMS will be implemented from July 16 (Shrawan 1). But This System Doesn't Work due to so many Problems With NTA Site...

   They Said," Those Phones Which are Already Working With Network or SIM in Nepal, They doesn't lose their signals BUT They Should be Registered in NTA as soon as possible."

    Now Upcoming Phones: Come from Foreign relatives, they should pay VAT and register that Phone in NTA.

What is MDMS?

MDMS keeps track and blocks the unregistered phones entering through illegal channels.

Why MDMS?

NTA started  IMEI registration in 2016 after issuing Interim Directives for Implementation of National EIR System 2072 BS. According to the provision, the importers must register the IMEI numbers in NTA. However, registration is not mandatory till now. 

The government has been working on MDMS for a long time, but the plans have not been materialized due to various reasons. It was reported that NTA faced difficulties in importing the infrastructure for building the system due to the pandemic. 

Introducing MDMS will also benefit the government as it can generate more tax through legal mobile imports.  

“The major objectives of this project to identify all active mobile devices on the mobile networks and trace illegal devices including non-registered mobile devices; to enable the tracking/blocking of a mobile handset that is lost/stolen; to encourage the import through the customs office and sale of genuine mobile handsets and minimize the possible grey market,” writes NTA in a notice published by NTA in 2018.
