As per the affidavit, Adhikari’s income has increased from approximately 8.13 lakh in 2020-21 to about 17.38 lakh in 2024-25.

He reported having cash in hand of roughly ₹12,000 and various bank accounts. His movable assets are now valued at roughly ₹24.57 lakh, down from ₹59.31 lakh reported in 2021.

The affidavit indicates that Adhikari has no outstanding loans or government liabilities. He has also stated that he does not possess any vehicle or jewelry.
