Electronic Transactions Act of Nepal
- ETA (Electronic Transaction Act) deals with issues related to cybercrime and also helps in making and implementing laws over cybercrime.
- It has made different requirements so that if anyone is found to have cybercrime, he/she will be punished according to the scene of the crime.
- He /she can be jailed for a minimum of from 6 months to a maximum of 3 years and has to pay the penalty according to the offense.
- However, cybercrime has been overgrowing in Nepal because of an inadequate tracking system, and the advancement needs still to build like in other developed countries.
- With the lack of proper updates of ETA, the hackers again hack governmental confidentiality which is an embracing to tell.
- ETA yet hasn’t adequately addressed Online payment, due to which we still don’t have a fast and reliable online payment system too.
