YYYY-MM-DD is official date format for Nepali Vikram Samvat. An example of Vikram Samvat YYYY-MM-DD usage used is the online news portal Onlinekhabar.[1] DD-MM-YY format is used for Gregorian calender though . The DD-MM-YY is the predominant short form of the numeric date usage. Almost all government documents need to be filled up in the YYYY-MM-DD format. An example of YYYY-MM-DD usage is the passport application form.[2]

Time

The 12-hour notation is widely used in daily life, written communication, and is used in spoken language. The 24-hour notation is used only in rare situations where there would be widespread ambiguity. Examples plane departure and landing timings. A colon is widely used to separate hours, minutes and seconds (e.g., 08:00:20).
