Important notes

Plot division is among the services the ministry planned to hand to pilot local levels from Shrawan 2083.
Each Survey Office has its own website (Survey Department list). Survey Office Morang has posted a citizen charter (नागरिक वडापत्र बिराटनगर) dated 27 Chaitra 2082, but its content could not be read online (probably an image) — check your office's website or ask at the counter.
Madhesh's Finance Act 2083 lists no plot-division fee in the text read.
Current plotting restrictions could not be verified from official sources. An unofficial pre-budget report (PriceNepal, May 2026, no document cited) says plotting bans were replaced by local zoning and farmland cannot be split into housing plots until rezoned by the local land-use council — unconfirmed.
Step order is indicative: no current citizen charter for this service could be retrieved — confirm at the office.
