What does it do?

  • The Act covers the pay and benefits of the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers, ministers, ministers of state and assistant ministers. The government sets their monthly pay by notice in the Nepal Gazette and can change it the same way. A minister who dies in office, resigns, or leaves when the cabinet is dissolved gets pay up to the last day plus one extra month's pay.यो ऐनले प्रधानमन्त्री, उपप्रधानमन्त्री, मन्त्री, राज्यमन्त्री र सहायकमन्त्रीको पारिश्रमिक र सुविधाको व्यवस्था गर्छ। उनीहरूको मासिक पारिश्रमिक नेपाल सरकारले नेपाल राजपत्रमा सूचना प्रकाशित गरी तोक्छ र सोही तरिकाले परिवर्तन गर्न सक्छ। पदमा छँदै मृत्यु भएमा, राजीनामा स्वीकृत भएमा वा मन्त्रिपरिषद् विघटन भई पद नरहेमा मन्त्रीले पद रहेको दिनसम्मको पारिश्रमिकका अतिरिक्त एक महिनाको थप पारिश्रमिक पाउँछ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Section 2(a), p. 1; Section 3, p. 2 (s. 3(1) amended in 2082)

No bills or vouchers are required for petrol and oil, and housing and vehicle benefits continue for seven days after leaving office.मन्त्रीले सरकारी आवास, नभए सरकारले तोकेको घरभाडा, र घर मर्मत–सरसफाइबापत वार्षिक रकम पाउँछन्; निवासको बिजुली, पानी र टेलिफोनको महसुल सरकारले तिर्छ। प्रधानमन्त्रीले दुई मोटर, मासिक ३४० लिटर पेट्रोल र तीन महिनामा १० लिटर मोबिल पाउँछन्; अन्य मन्त्रीले एउटा मोटर र मासिक २०० देखि २६५ लिटरसम्म पेट्रोल पाउँछन्। पेट्रोल र मोबिलको बिल भरपाई बुझाउनु पर्दैन, र आवास तथा सवारी सुविधा पदावधि सकिएको सात दिनसम्म पाइन्छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Sections 4–6, pp. 2–3

Bodyguards and guards are provided as prescribed. Benefits start from the date the minister takes the oath.प्रत्येक मन्त्रीको तोकिएबमोजिमको फर्निचर, कार्यालय सामान र कर्मचारीसहितको निजी सचिवालय हुन्छ, र कार्यकाल सकिएपछि फर्निचर र जिन्सी सामान फिर्ता बुझाउनुपर्छ; मसलन्द र अतिथि सत्कार खर्च सरकारले तोक्छ र त्यसको बिल भरपाई बुझाउनु पर्दैन। अङ्गरक्षक र गार्डको सुविधा तोकिएबमोजिम हुन्छ। सुविधा मन्त्रीले शपथ लिएको मितिदेखि सुरु हुन्छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Sections 13–16, p. 5
