KATHMANDU: The Property Inquiry Commission has extended the deadline for current and former public officials to submit their property details until July 16, granting a final one-month extension to facilitate the collection of required documents.

The commission said the deadline was extended after receiving requests from individuals both inside and outside the country who reported difficulties compiling property records within the previous timeframe.

More than 3,500 property declarations and over 60 complaints have been received so far. The commission is expected to begin the investigation process after reviewing the submitted details.

The commission is investigating the assets of individuals who held public office between 1991 and 2026, including elected representatives, senior civil servants, constitutional officeholders, and officials of public institutions. Authorities estimate that property details from 40,000 to 50,000 individuals could eventually be collected as part of the inquiry.
