As regards your query, it is submitted that no work permit is required for a Nepali national for a job in India. There is an open border between the two countries and also the Treaty of Peace and Friendship 1950. However, the identity of the person must be checked, and an ID proof document must be obtained to avoid mistaken identity.

Dear Nidhoi,
In India, it is estimated that over 7 million citizens of Nepali origin make their living. The statistics can't be denied in view of the large number of Nepali language speakers in Darjeeling (West Bengal), Assam, Sikkim, and other states. At present, the number of people of Nepali origin is estimated to be over 6 million in India. The All India Migrant Nepali Association has assumed that 50 percent of the total Nepali population in India are citizens of Nepal. In recent years, a trend to work as agricultural laborers in different states of India, mainly in Punjab and Haryana, is rapidly increasing among Nepali citizens. Considering the number of agricultural laborers, service workers, police and army personnel, porters, gatekeepers, and the Kanchha (hotel boys) working all over India, the estimated count could exceed 2 to 3 million in India. Nepalese individuals can work in India without any restrictions, except in government services where proper regulations must be followed. They can own property or a company, open a bank account, and legally stay for an unlimited period in India if they are Nepalese citizens, and the same applies for Indians in Nepal. A pact or treaty was signed in 1950 between India and Nepal. It is very common in bordering cities of Nepal and in the capital city where many Indians are employed in garments, manufacturing, and other equipment industries. The capital city of Kathmandu has become a promising city for people living in areas near Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal to further their studies in engineering, medicine, management, etc.
A significant number of Indians are employed in the sectors of construction, wholesale and retail trading of goods, restaurants, and mountaineering in Nepal. Nepal is the country with the largest Indian diaspora, with more than 4 million Indian-origin individuals residing in Nepal. Similarly, India has the largest Nepalese diaspora. Citizens can freely move between the two countries without any hassles due to the absence of visa provisions, especially benefiting tourism. However, smuggling and trafficking are also common.
The similarities in culture, religion (Nepal being the only Hindu Kingdom in the world), language, and geographical proximity have all played roles in this mass movement of people between the two countries. The open border and free movement have been outcomes of this cohabitation for hundreds of years, even before colonial times.
The India-Nepal Treaty of Peace and Friendship was signed by Nepali Prime Minister Mohan Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana and the Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Chandreshwor Narayan Singh, on 31 July 1950 and came into force the same day. It consists of ten articles, providing for everlasting peace and friendship between the two countries. The treaty ensures mutual respect for the complete sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence of each other.
Articles 6 and 7 grant, on a reciprocal basis, nationals of one country the same privileges in the other country regarding residence, property ownership, participation in trade and commerce, movement, and other similar privileges. This enables Nepali and Indian citizens to move freely across the border without a passport or visa, live and work in either country, and own property or engage in trade or business in either country. A large number of Nepalis (in millions) live, own property, work, or conduct business in India, benefiting from the treaty. Similarly, many Indians live, own property, and do business in Nepal.
The free movement of persons across the border was common even before the 1816 Treaty of Suguali, though it became somewhat restricted after 1816. After the 1860 treaty, Prime Minister Jung Bahadur allowed Indians to buy and sell land in the Tarai and invited businessmen, traders, and landlords from India. The British also kept the Nepal-India border open.
The Nepalese king enacted the Citizenship Act of 1952, allowing Indians to immigrate to Nepal and acquire Nepalese citizenship. (source: Wikipedia)
