AD vs BS: Understanding the Difference
In Nepal, we use two calendar systems parallelly. While the world uses the Gregorian Calendar (AD), our official government calendar is Bikram Sambat (BS). This often creates confusion when calculating age for official documents.
💡 Quick Fact
Bikram Sambat (BS) is approximately 56 years, 8 months ahead of the English Calendar (AD). The New Year in BS usually falls in mid-April (Baisakh 1st).
Why Exact Age Matters?
Knowing your precise age down to the day is crucial for various applications in Nepal:
- 🏛️ Lok Sewa Aayog Strict age cut-offs (e.g., must not exceed 35 years on the last day of application).
- 🎓 Education Grade 1 admission requires specific age criteria (usually 5+ years).
- 💍 Marriage Legal marriage age is 20 years for both men and women.
- 👴 Senior Citizen Benefits like allowance start from 68/70 years.
Korean Age System vs Nepali System
Unlike Korea where a baby is considered 1 year old at birth, in Nepal (and internationally), age is calculated from 0. Our tool follows the International Standard (0 at birth), which is required for all legal documents in Nepal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert my birthday from BS to AD?
We recommend using our Nepali Date Converter tool for this. Manual conversion is difficult because the number of days in Nepali months changes every year.
What is the retirement age in Nepal?
For civil servants (Nijamati Karmachari), the compulsory retirement age is 58 years. For university professors and judges, it can be 63 or 65 years.
