Bikram Sambat vs Gregorian Calendar for Payroll
Nepal uses two calendars: Bikram Sambat (BS) for government work, festivals, and most salary cycles, and Gregorian (AD) for banking, international business, and digital systems. The two don\'t line up. BS is about 56 years and 8 months ahead, and its months run 29 to 32 days. Date errors can delay pay or cause missed compliance deadlines, so payroll software must support both calendars.
