Projection

Nepal lies in UTM zone between 44 and 45. Due to greater expansion in east-west direction of Nepal, Survey Department of Nepal uses Modified UTM (MUTM) for increasing accuracy in cadastral survey. Because of this reason, MUTM is used as projection. In this projection, there are 120 zones each of 30 longitude.

The modified UTM has following features:

False Easting: 500 000   

False northing:0

Central Meridian= 84 0    

Scale factor= 0.9999

Units: Meter

 

The geographic co-ordinate system or datum used is GCS_Everest_Bangladesh 1937.
