KATHMANDU, April 30: The government has decided to make the box office system mandatory in all cinema halls and movie theaters across the country. This provision is outlined in the Film Bill 2081 BS, which was registered in the National Assembly on Sunday.
According to the bill, all tickets must be issued electronically through a system integrated with the Film Development Board's software and server. Ticketing data will be transmitted in real time to the central film management system.
