\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

NTA issued a public notice\u00a0on Monday which stated the that \u2018Viber Out \u2018 service would now be illegal. The Viber Out<\/em> service that was launched in the last week of July has been banned by NTA stating that domestic laws have provision to allow IP to IP calls and restricts IP to mobile\/landline call. They also said that the service had made much of the impact in the revenue collection of the government.<\/p>\n

Users have to recharge their Viber Out accounts through a local agent of Viber to use this service. While doing so, Viber takes a notable sum of domestic currency while the government gets nothing,\u201d said Min Prasad Aryal, spokesperson for NTA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NTA on finding any user using Viber\u00a0Out<\/em>\u00a0can penalize up to Rs. 50,000.<\/strong> They will start inspecting about the service being used after Dashain and take action to the firms and individuals responsible for using or promoting the service.<\/p>\n
