How does Remitly Nepal Pay your money?

I have been doing the remittance business in Nepal for the last 15 years. There were only a few international companies that could send money. As I recall 15 years ago, it took at least two days, and sometimes even a week, to pay money to the beneficiary. Now, those days have over, the rapid development of the technology and remittance business now the money can deliver within a minute. Today, in this post, I would like to tell you how the Remitly Nepal pays the money even if it doesn’t have an office in this country.

Is the Remitly Nepal registered company in Nepal?

No, it is an international cross-border money transfer company that is not registered with the Central Bank of Nepal. There are no international money transfer companies that have been authorized to do independent business here in Nepal unless they have partnered with the local company. It is the policy of the Nepalese government.

How is Remitly working in Nepal?

It is common in remittance business in Nepal, not all local remittance companies that can set up an office abroad where NRNs work and stay. Similarly not all the foreign remit companies can establish offices in Nepal, because, it could be a high cost for them. To reduce their operating costs, most of the companies they work as partners, including Remitly Inc.

Remitly inc is the partner with Nepal remit, which is registered as a remittance company with the central bank of Nepal. Although Nepal remit is a new company it has 2831 payout locations including agents across the country.

Nepal remit international Pvt. Ltd has been working extensively with international and national partners for the inward remittances. Most of the domestic banks are the partner of the Nepal remit so, the recipient can pick up cash from the bank branches or the agent offices.

There are 1000 agents in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal remit who pays out the cash that comes through Remitly Nepal and the following banks’ branches also payout in cash or into the bank account across the country.

  1. Bank of Kathmandu Ltd

These above banks have the branches in almost all districts, so, there is no place where the Remitly fund will not be paid. If you want to search the nearest agent in your district then click here.

How can you send money through Remitly?

If Remitly is available in your country for sending money you need to register as the user and there are two way you can choose one of them;

  1. Pay with debit or credit cards.
  2. Pay with your bank account.

How long does it take to deliver money in Nepal?

Usually instantly, unless there is a problem with clearing the fund from your account or credit/debit card to the Remitly account. From my experience, the fund will be available in Nepal the next day if there is no holiday in the sender country and Nepal.

Why should you send money from Remitly Nepal?

Every remittance company has determined its own exchange rate and service charge. The Remitly exchange rate is competitive and sending charge also low as well as AHC (automated clearing House) facilitated charge.

The full list of the Insurance companies in Nepal

Nepal is a developing nation with a potentially booming market for insurance firms. People’s view on life and their property insurance was changed after the devastating earthquake of 2015, and more and more lives were lost as a result of the accident in the last 10 years. The insurance companies in Nepal have been operating by the renowned business group and some portion of share has owned by the general public.

How many insurance companies are in Nepal?

There are 19 life and 20 nonlife insurance companies in Nepal most of them with a higher margin. Although there is one reinsurance company, most of the companies have re-insured with international companies in Nepal.

Insurance has become a significant factor in Nepal today, because geographically and poorly built national infrastructure, including; highways, bridges, and overseas jobs cause a higher rate of accidental death.

Another factor that has played an important role in the vertical increase in the insurance business in Nepal is people’s lives stander and, generally, more people are aware of insurance now, than the past.

Although the Nepalese government raised the paid-up capital for the old and newly registered companies, it did not restrict the new companies from entering the insurance market. As a result, there are ten new insurance companies in Nepal and the number of life insurance companies has risen from 9 to 19.

Nepal Bima Samiti (Nepal Insurance Board) is the government regulatory body for insurance companies responsible for licensing the companies, regulating the policies, and taking action against companies that do not comply with the regulations on the operation.

How to get labour contract UAE information online?

It is a common scenario for individuals who are looking for a job they accept a job offer letter and sign a labour contract UAE hastily without reading and understanding the terms.

Unfortunately, this can lead to exploitation and dissatisfaction later when the terms and conditions mentioned in the contract are apparent. I am writing this post to obtain the labor contract UAE information online.

Reviewing and understanding your employment contract before signing is crucial. According to UAE labor law, the employment contract should be provided in English and the employee’s mother tongue.

If the contract does not have a translated copy in your native language, you should request one from the employer.

A labour contract is a legally binding document signed between the employer and the employee, typically issued by the UAE Ministry of Labor. The representative of the company signs on one side, and the employee signs on the other

This document serves not only as a piece of paper but also contains broader terms and conditions that both the employer and the employee need to adhere it. The contract consists of various obligations including;

  1. Your salary
  2. Overtime provision
  3. Contract termination condition
  4. Contract period
  5. Vacation
  6. Accommodation
  7. transportation
  8. Health care provision
  9. Contract violation conditions
  10. And more

If you sign a labour contract in UAE, you can not conduct it out of it, and if the employer also fails to do so, it is considered a breach of the contract, and any party that violates the contract will face the consequences.

Once a contract is signed, both parties the employer and employees are bound by its terms, and any attempt to violate or breach it carries consequences.

Breaching a contract is a serious matter that may lead to legal “Consequences.”. Adhering to the terms and conditions is crucial for maintaining contractual integrity.

If you think the employer has breached the contract and wants to complain to the Ministry Of Human Resource and Emiratisation (MOHRE) first check your contract with what has been signed between you and your employer.

If you believe that your employer has violated the employment contract and you intend to file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) in the UAE.

It is crucial to carefully review the terms and conditions outlined in your contract. Ensure that you have a clear understanding of the agreed-upon terms, including job responsibilities, working hours, compensation, and any other pertinent details.

Difference between labour card and contract

The labor contract and the labor card in the UAE serve different purposes but are closely connected.

  • The labor contract is a legally binding document signed by both the employer and employee before the employee begins work.
  • A labor contract outlines the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of both parties and acts as the primary legal framework for employment.
  • Once the labor contract has signed, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) issues the labor card.
  • A labor card serves as official proof that you are authorized to work for your current employer. It also validates your employment and can be presented to authorities to verify your work status.
  • The labor card contains limited information, such as the employer’s name, the nature of work, and the employee’s basic details.
  • The labor contract details the full legal agreement between the employer and employee, the labor card is a streamlined representation of your employment status.

How to check your UAE labour contract online?

To view your labour contract in the UAE, follow these simple steps using the MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation) website:

  1. Visit the MOHRE Website: Click here to access the official MOHRE website and ensure you’re on the correct page.
  2. Navigate to Inquiry Services: On the main menu, go to the “Services section“. From the dropdown menu, select “New Inquiry Services” and click on it.
  3. Access the Contract Section: Once you click, a new tab will open. Look for the option labeled “View Approved Contract” from the dropdown list and click it.

7. Enter Your Details: Fill out the required fields with the following information:

  • Transaction Number
  • Passport Number
  • Nationality
  • Date of Birth
  • CAPTCHA Code
  • View Your Contract

After entering the details, click View My Contract to access the full contract information you signed with your employer.

By following these steps and providing the correct information, you will be able to retrieve and review your labour contract details online quickly and easily.

After you sign the labour contract, the employer submits it to the ministry. The ministry uploads the contract into their database, allowing your request to retrieve it directly.

Conclusion

Checking the labor card and the labor contract in the UAE involves a similar process, but checking the labor card provides information specific to the card, and the labor contract offers comprehensive details about the employment agreement.

What about the family visa if you changed the job?

If the employer has brought their family member on the sponsor of the current or previous employer then it can change to the new employer when the employee job change condition has met with the labour law.

Where to live in this transition period?

The employee will stay with the first employer until the second employer completes the necessary documentation for obtaining the visa for the newly hired staff. In this period, if you are out of work, the first employer should also provide you the accommodation.

Conclusion: It is the great relief for the expatriate workers in Oman, previously, the law didn’t allow to change the job in Oman although they found a good job with some great companies. Please pay attention to the above requirement, whether you have met or not, before changing your job.
