Supplementary Budget

If the amount authorized by the Appropriation Act is insufficient or expenditure on a new service is needed, the Finance Minister may present supplementary estimates to Parliament.

If the original budget runs out or a new expense arises mid-year (earthquake, pandemic, new program), the Finance Minister comes back to Parliament with a supplementary budget. It goes through the same approval process as the main budget. Nepal has historically relied heavily on supplementary budgets — sometimes spending 20-30% more than originally planned.
