The provincial government has proposed 5 percent share, metropolitan cities, sub-metropolitan cities and municipalities 15 percent and rural municipalities 10 percent. Similarly, corporations, funds, corporations, companies, banks and international financial institutions owned by the Government of Nepal will have 15 percent shares.
