The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a set of seven asset-freeze orders related to terrorism financing under UNSCR 1988. The orders, dated 14 April and 16 April 2026, direct all concerned parties to immediately freeze any assets, funds or direct and indirect benefits connected with designated individuals, groups, entities or organizations listed through Nepal’s Targeted Financial Sanction System.

According to the document, the updated sanctions list is published through the TFS portal, the Ministry of Home Affairs website, or both. Since the list may be updated immediately after any change, all concerned parties have been instructed to review the updated list daily, with the interval not exceeding 12 hours.

The orders issued on 16 April 2026 cover Khalil Ahmed Haqqani, Abdul Rauf Zakir, and Haji Khairullah Haji Sattar Money Exchange. The orders issued on 14 April 2026 cover Mohammad Hassan Akhund, Abdul Ghani Baradar Abdul Ahmad Turk, Amir Khan Motaqi, and Gul Agha Ishakzai. Each order carries a separate TFS dispatch number under the UNSCR 1988 framework.

The Ministry has cited Sections 29E and 29F of the Asset (Money Laundering) Prevention Act, 2008 as the basis for publishing the updated list. It has also invoked Section 29E(2), Section 29G, and Rule 64 of the Asset (Money Laundering) Prevention Regulations, 2024 to order the freezing of assets without prior notice or ex-parte.

The document further states that any assets, funds or benefits arising from future updates to the TFS list must also be frozen in line with the Act and Regulations. The Ministry has warned that compliance with the order will be monitored and enforced under the relevant legal provisions.
