What does it do?
- The Act sets the basis for relations among the federal, provincial and local governments: cooperation, coexistence and coordination. Each level implements its exclusive powers through its own laws, while laws and policies on concurrent powers must respect the other levels' jurisdiction; certain matters are regulated by federal law, and some federal tasks may be carried out by provinces or local levels. Laws made by each level must be published and recorded, and provincial or local laws may provide for appeals to the district court and for investigating and prosecuting offences.यो ऐनले सङ्घ, प्रदेश र स्थानीय तहबीचको सम्बन्ध सहकारिता, सहअस्तित्व र समन्वयका आधारमा चल्ने व्यवस्था गर्छ। हरेक तहले एकल अधिकार आफ्नै कानूनबाट कार्यान्वयन गर्छ, साझा अधिकारका कानून र नीति बनाउँदा अन्य तहको क्षेत्राधिकारको सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ; केही विषय सङ्घीय कानूनबाट व्यवस्थित हुन्छन् र केही सङ्घीय काम प्रदेश वा स्थानीय तहबाट गराउन सकिन्छ। हरेक तहले बनाएका कानून प्रकाशित र अभिलेख गर्नुपर्छ, र प्रदेश वा स्थानीय कानूनमा कसूरको अनुसन्धान, मुद्दा दायरी र जिल्ला अदालतमा पुनरावेदनको व्यवस्था गर्न सकिन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Sections 3–12, pp. 2–8
- The Government must consult provinces and local levels on matters such as national projects in their areas, and projects of national or provincial importance are planned and implemented with coordination; each level must support the others' work within their powers, and legislatures and governments at different levels may collaborate.राष्ट्रिय आयोजनासहितका विषयमा नेपाल सरकारले प्रदेश र स्थानीय तहसँग समन्वय र परामर्श गर्नुपर्छ, राष्ट्रिय वा प्रादेशिक महत्त्वका आयोजना समन्वयमा तर्जुमा र कार्यान्वयन हुन्छन्; हरेक तहले अर्को तहको अधिकारक्षेत्रका काममा सहयोग गर्नुपर्छ, र विभिन्न तहका व्यवस्थापिका र सरकारबीच सहकार्य हुन सक्छ। Nepal Law Commission Sections 11, 13–15, pp. 6–10
- A National Coordination Council chaired by the Prime Minister, with the Finance, Law, Home and Federal Affairs ministers, all provincial Chief Ministers, the Leader of the Opposition (or an MP he names) and inclusive representation of mayors, chairs and district coordination committee chiefs, coordinates the three tiers; its secretariat is in the Federal Affairs ministry, and thematic committees link federal and provincial ministries. A designated body must study federal, provincial and local laws and their implementation and report to the Council by the end of Ashwin each year. Each province has a Provincial Coordination Council chaired by the Chief Minister, and district coordination committees coordinate locally.प्रधानमन्त्रीको अध्यक्षतामा अर्थ, कानून, गृह र सङ्घीय मामिला मन्त्री, सबै प्रदेशका मुख्यमन्त्री, प्रतिनिधि सभाका विपक्षी दलका नेता (वा उनले तोकेका सांसद) र गाउँपालिका, नगरपालिका तथा जिल्ला समन्वय समितिका प्रमुखको समावेशी प्रतिनिधित्व रहने राष्ट्रिय समन्वय परिषद्ले तीन तहबीच समन्वय गर्छ; यसको सचिवालय सङ्घीय मामिला मन्त्रालयमा रहन्छ, र विषयगत समितिले सङ्घ र प्रदेशका मन्त्रालय जोड्छन्। सरकारले तोकेको निकायले तीनै तहका कानून र तिनको कार्यान्वयनको अध्ययन गरी हरेक वर्ष असोज मसान्तभित्र परिषद्मा प्रतिवेदन दिनुपर्छ। प्रत्येक प्रदेशमा मुख्यमन्त्रीको अध्यक्षतामा प्रदेश समन्वय परिषद् र जिल्लामा जिल्ला समन्वय समितिले समन्वय गर्छन्। Nepal Law Commission Sections 16–26, pp. 10–15
- The levels must work so as to avoid disputes. A political dispute between the federation and a province, or between provinces, must be notified within 15 days to the Inter-Provincial Council secretariat for resolution; this does not affect the Constitutional Bench's jurisdiction. Each body must report on the work it does under the Act.तहहरूले विवाद नआउने गरी काम गर्नुपर्छ। सङ्घ र प्रदेश वा प्रदेश–प्रदेशबीच राजनीतिक विवाद उत्पन्न भएमा पन्ध्र दिनभित्र अन्तरप्रदेश परिषद्को सचिवालयमा लिखित सूचना दिनुपर्छ र परिषद्ले समाधान खोज्छ; यसले संवैधानिक इजलासको अधिकारक्षेत्रमा असर पार्दैन। ऐनबमोजिम गरेको कामको प्रतिवेदन सम्बन्धित निकायले पेस गर्नुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Sections 27–32, pp. 15–17
