I read in a post that the King (Royal Family?) gets Rs. 67 crore a year. Is this correct? Who all does this cover?

sad but true...goes directly to Swiss bank

i thought it was 76 lakhs
but they have alota businesses and free of taxes

So, is this 67 karod from the national coffers or from his business or combined. Is it his comprehensive income or what the tax payer pay.

Guys,
Rs. 67 crore was announced in the last budget as the allocation of expenses for Royal palace for the fiscal year 2061/2062 only. In the budget, figures are announced as development budget, adminstrative budget, defence budget and so and so. and one of the budget head is palace budget.
Since Girija was sacked from the post of the primeminister, palace's budget has been increased by more then 20 folds until now. This budget is adminstered for the 13 members of Royals, the number of these royals was in itself increased to 13 from 5 after Sher Bahadur became the prime minister in the aftermath of the palace massacre. Besides, Gyane's business empire makes him the richest man in Nepal. With Surya Tobacco, Soaltee group, Sipradi trading and many other businesses, plus the wealth of murdered King and Queen, and lots of government land under the palace's name, he has vast and uncalculated wealth which dwarfs the combined wealth of top 10 wealthy businessman. Unaccounted wealth within Nepal and abroad is simply unimaginable.

For growing maoists atrocities, You blame Girija but keep in mind that the Army refused for operation against the maoists trapped in Holeri in the midst of 2059. Most of the top brass of maoists were locked in there. Gyanendra pathetically renounced Girijas's call for full scale assault that time. Till then the Maoist never attempted to attack army barracks. NOw they are in the verge of attack in the capital. Girija had his shortcomings but he never got the support from the army when needed.

I tell you again. Don't be fooled by Gyanendra. He is not a leader, he is a cruel man. His history tells all about who he is. Now, ther's not a penny of doubt that he did killed the family of his brother to fulfill his ambition of ruling Nepal autocratically. If you still believe in him, you are a dumb arse.
time will tell, Gadhalai dhoera Gai kaile hudaina sathiharu. Bhram ma naparau.

newuserr,
if i knew you, i would come and get dashain ko tika from you!
i agree with you man, 100%%%, thats the whole truth, what you said.
we all knew it from the 2st of june, 2001, everyone in nepal knew it, but some oporunistic and selfish people overlooked the truth and went ahead to lick Gyane's feet.
he's corrupt, he used to smuggle out ancient statues and artefacts from temples, and thats also how he amassed such great wealth.
his businesses make him sofaking rich, that he has the power to buy 3 rolls royces at the same time!! which he did sumtime in the year 2003!!! and have u seen his new Jaguar?? babaaal.....
well, all the wealth of our Late King and Queen and their children went to Gyane, and he killed each and every member of their family so that no one else would be king, and he would fulfill his wish. do you remember that he was crowned king for a short period of time before the panchayat??? when king tribhuvan/mahendra, i donot remember exactly, but they escaped to india, and gyane was in ktm, and the rana's declared him the king.....i think this event made him realize that he wanted to rule nepal as a dictator, and thus, he became a bastid and caused the massacre, and thus, created the maoists to disable nepal, so that he could slowly take over....
this is the whole truth, why are people blind to this???????
i hope this enlightens you, all you selfish people who go after who ever comes to power!!!
may god enlighten you all very soon.

toiletpaperbaaba or who ever you are, first i am a son of a comoner and I am no worth of offering tika to others. My mum n dad and elderly relatives offer me tika and I offer tika to my younger nearest kins. I am not any special person to offer you a tika, but certainly we have a common idea that democracy is better then autocracy. So I'd offer you a common voice against Gyanendra's senseless act of despotism.

As for Gyanendra's past, could you read the previous thread 'thinking impartially and sensibly'? I have tried to give my brief account of Gyane's past in thatwhich may help you to know the readers more about Gyanendra. I am continuing that thread further ahead.

those are bullet proof jaguars
he bought total 8 cars - 3 bullet proof jaguars, 3 mercedes n' 2 rolce royce
total 86 crore

long live that D!CK head :)......... G dai rulz when it comes to fraud.....

sathi ho

arka ko paisa ko lov nagaru.
teyo khetan, golcha, dugar etc haru nepal aauda lota matrai bokeyra aayako theya, aailey teai mancha haru kati dhani chan. i suppose royal family bhanda dhani chan.

kethan, golcha , dugar, etc haru ko kati nai pusta bhayo hola ra nepal ma?

not more then 3 or 4. timi hami haru ko pusta ko ta hisab nai chaina. hamro purkha haru pani ta teai desh ma theya nee, tyo mancha haru india bata lota matrai bokey ra aauda.
herda herdai tini haru kaha pugya, hami jaha ko teai.

teai bhaya ra aaaru ko paisa ma aakah na lagau ho sathi ho.

you know one interesting thing, i guess it was few years back when a sansad from my hometown used to wear slippers , used to live in a rundown house, used to play caramboard on the streets. now he has a building with most modern facility in kathmandu. never drinks local rakshi, only scotch. never walks, rides the most latest cars in nepal. its just been few years and he can earn that much.
royals they have been in nepal for centuries so dont you think its possible for them to have that much?

IF THERE ARE STILL SOME PEOPLE WHO THINK DIPENDRA KILLED THE ROYAL FAMILY MEMBERS(and shot himself later), I CAN'T HELP MYSELF BUT LAUGH(pet michi michi).

JHYAPP BHAERA, COCAINE GARERA, 10 KILO KO AUTOMATIC WEAPON LE BHATTTATTTA....LMAO.

common guys grow up....for those who still support Gyanendra.

And also, I don't beleive that he (Dipendra) was struggling for his life for two days. I think he was dead on the same day King Birendra died. KG just took two days to control over. Hope Upendra Devkota will tell truth to the public someday.

Prithivinarayan Shah had also killed several people. He had cut the noses of Newars from Kirtipur.I guess, who can kill more gets more respect and power in politics.

aarkaa ko paisaa ko lov nagarne bhaye netaharu ko matra kina lov garne.

i don't mean to say don't punish the corrupt. but only that punish the corrupt, all the corrupt, PUNISH ALL THE CORRUPT.

Tsk Tsk Deep Blue, they didn't have the International War Crimes Tribunal then. In this day and age, if King Gyanendra chops off the ears and noses of the Congress, UML or Maoists cadres, he may find himself in the Hague :)

TO Nepali ho ma,
gyanendra's accounted wealth alone is more then the top ten businessmen of Nepal icluding Khetan, Golchha, chadhary and others combined. Read Nepal pakshik shrawan 2059.

I do not support to the leaders who wore slippers before 2046 and bulid big apartments in Katmandu therafter.
But Palace is a diff. story. The peons and pales of the palace have bigger houses then the slipper wearing MP you have mentioned. The King gives millions of rs. from our treasury as dachhina to his bada guruju, guruju and Indian pujaris every year. So no comparision to his chamatkar with Netako bhrastachar.
Anyway, a mind covered with false belief is difficult to uncover. Your statement is ridiculous.

Whatever it is . Why the hell he is closed down all phones ......did anyone able to call nepal??

hey newuser zee,
seems like an elite around all these fools hovering around this site.
well i do love democracy and i do want my rights back too.
but you know a thing man, i wouldnt have asked a single question to our X- leaders even if they have had amassed billions of dollars but atleast left behind a good example.
Atleast one thing to be proud of.

Well in case of gynandra and his wealth, he did inherit from his forefathers great Prithivi Narayan Shah (whos revered for one good cause), Tribhuvan (did a lot during Rana Regime).
I dont mean his earnings are all crystal clear.
but i dont think i will mind, him amassing wealth, if he paves a bright future for a simple voter like me in Nepal.
but i do if he just keeps on sucking the general nepali people. Dont get agitated by my words, you just cant jump into conclusion now, let him have his time for a while.
Then you can jump into conclusion.
But i guess you can jump into conclusion about our X-leaders, cause they bought a lot of precious Nepali time for cheap from us.

You need a good example? I think I have got many.

First, the scale of consciousness that developed in people. People are no longer sheeps and goats these days. Otherwise they would line up in thousands and chant- Hamro Raja Hamro Desh Pran Bhanda Pyaro chha. As they did in the repressive Panchayat period.

Developement of media. You have choice what to read and what to listen from politics to music. No longer you need to watch or read or listen to Radio Nepal and Nepal Televison and Gorkhapatra only. YOu have choices, freedom(though Gyanendra has shamefully barred this choices now). With media the knowledge of the outer world entered inside Nepal, you must agree. Secrecy and darkness within the government or public sector has been unfolded by the media.

Development of private sector educaton. I know people from extreme poverty culd not benefit from this but a big chunk of the middle class and lower middle class have benfitted from this which previosuly was only available to upper class people.

The easy issuing of Passports. In Panchayat, you could only be issued a passport from the foreign ministry. General people could not go abroad for emplyment or education.
With the simplification of the precedure, now tens of thousands of people are earninng foreign currency for the country from abroad. Our country today is running with the remmitence send home by Nepalese working abroad.

secularism, economic liberalisation, modernisation, of the society. Prajatantra ko bich ma neta ka ghar matra haina sathi lakhau janata ka ghar pani khar bata brick ra cement ka gharma change bhako chhan. Brick and cement houses were the property of thulabada in that era but not now.

12 barsha ma janata le thulo fadko marekachhan. Neta matra gatila bhaideko bhaye, we have moved a lot forward.

Blockade of information and communication will hide many things. So you do not know what has happened in these 4 days. But apart from politician's reckless misuse of government resources, Nepalese people have taken a giant leap. We are used to with democracy. First we will wait few weeks till King Gyanedra gives our telephone lines back, otherwise we will storm into Narayanhiti. beware!

yes the royal palace gets 67 crore per year from the government. and that 67 crore does not include his incomes from his private business. 67 crore is the sum we nepalese give him every year.

newuserr,
i would like to correct you about the statement about passport.
PASSPORT was issued only by foreign ministry for valid resons. yes it was not like a cheap copy like it is now. you know why ?? because not many people were going abroad for labor or education. reason [ education was better in nepal. and you had jobs in the country] remember US$1 = NRs 25 only. so do believe that one way or the other we were in a better shape.

now half the younger generation in abroad why?? school in our country is closed HALF THE TIME. no decent education... no jobs...in the country ,.... and one way or the other people have more money.. i do not know how but thats the story.

my lunch money used to be Nrs5 in 1990. and my parents cannot afford more than that to their grandchildren. [we were rich then .. not now....people just have fared better] i am happy for all the new and wealthy nepalese.
