Art. 180 · Part 14
Provincial Appropriation
प्रदेश विनियोजन
Original Text
Moneys to be spent from the Provincial Consolidated Fund must be authorized by a Provincial Appropriation Act, specifying allocations under appropriate heads.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
Provincial spending requires a formal Appropriation Act — the Provincial Assembly\'s legal authorization for every rupee spent. Money is allocated under specific heads (education, health, roads), and the government cannot move money between heads without assembly permission. This is the provincial purse-string control.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
