No special license or authorisation is required to engage in e-commerce except for registration required for all the industries/businesses. E-commerce was not mentioned in legislations pertaining to industry/business registration before Industrial Enterprise Act, 2020, which listed e-commerce as a service sector industry in Schedule 8. E-commerce is not listed as an industry requiring permission as per Schedule 1. Company Act does not require license or authorisation for registering an e-commerce company. The draft e-commerce bill currently put up for feedback from stakeholders (https://moics.gov.np/public/uploads/shares/news_notice/Final%20Submition%20of%20e%20commerce.pdf), at its present form, requires e-commerce companies to be listed at the electronic portal of the Department.
