Kathmandu – The newly form government has decided to curb unproductive spending by withdrawing additional facilities provided to retired political and administrative officials.

According to the Cabinet decision , the Ministry of Finance has instructed the Home and Defense Ministries to recall vehicles and security personnel previously allotted to former officeholders.

From now on, former officials will only receive facilities permitted under existing laws and approved standards. Any vehicles, equipment, assistants, or security staff provided beyond the law must be immediately returned. Other unauthorized benefits will also be discontinued.

The Ministry of Finance issued a circular on Friday urging immediate enforcement of the decision. The move is aimed at reducing misuse of state resources and ensuring more transparent and accountable government spending.
