Art. 201 · Part 15
Provincial Supplementary Budget
प्रदेश पूरक बजेट
Original Text
If the provincial budget proves insufficient or new expenditure is needed, the Provincial Finance Minister may present supplementary estimates to the Provincial Assembly.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
Mid-year budget adjustment at the provincial level. If a province needs more money than originally budgeted — flood damage, new program, cost overruns — the provincial finance minister goes back to the assembly for supplementary funding. Same process as the main budget: present, debate, vote, approve.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
प्रदेश बजेट अपुग भएमा प्रदेश अर्थमन्त्रीले प्रदेश सभामा पूरक अनुमान पेश गर्न सक्छन्।
✅ Strengths
Fiscal flexibility for genuine mid-year needs.
⚠️ Concerns
Frequent supplementary budgets indicate poor initial planning — a chronic issue at all government levels in Nepal.
