hey aqua2,

The information what u got is completely wrong. The rule is passports which were issued after April'10 have to be MRP (Machine Readable Passport), but which were issued before that will not be a problem.
Actually by 2014 all passports have to be MRP. But till 2014 it should not be a problem to carry old passport.

As Nepal was not able to upgraded its passport to MRP technology they got some extension. And that's the reason they are issuing OLD passports.
