As India- Nepal borders are open citizens of either country may move freely across the bother without any passport or visas and may live and work in either country. Nepal citizens are even allowed to work in Indian government institutions (except in some states and few civil services like IFS, IAS, and IPS). Whereas Indians cannot work in any Nepal official institutions or own any land there. Over the years as the Nepal government has been dissatisfied, in 2014 India agreed on revising and adjusting the treaty to take into consideration the current realities, however, the method of adjustment hasn’t been made clear by either side. Geographical proximity, and close socio-cultural and economic dependence of Nepal has got India a strong influence on Nepal and its policy decisions.
