Social Security Fund (SSF) in Nepal – A Simple Guide for Everyone

Compliance with Nepal’s Social Security Fund (SSF) has become an important responsibility for employers. To help organisations understand their obligations under the Social Security Act, 2074 (2017), we at A.P. & Associates have prepared a summary on SSF compliance.

The guide covers key requirements including employer and employee registration, monthly contribution payments, salary declarations, record maintenance, and reporting obligations. It also explains the social security benefits available under the Fund, such as health protection, maternity benefits, accident and disability coverage, dependent family protection, and old-age security.

A key takeaway is that SSF compliance goes beyond meeting legal requirements. Organisations that comply with social security provisions strengthen employee welfare, improve retention, and demonstrate responsible employment practices.

The publication also highlights the risks of non-compliance, including penalties, interest on delayed contributions, and potential legal disputes.
