What does it do?

  • Money may be taken from the Contingency Fund only when the Council of Ministers releases it for an emergency task. An emergency task means work needed because of a natural disaster, an accident, internal or external unrest or danger, or similar events, or work the government declares to be an emergency. The Ministry of Finance runs the fund, and the Finance Secretary or an officer the Secretary names keeps its records in the form set in the Schedule.नेपाल सरकार, मन्त्रिपरिषद्ले कुनै आकस्मिक कामका लागि निकासा दिएमा मात्र आकस्मिक कोषबाट रकम झिकेर खर्च गर्न सकिन्छ। दैवी प्रकोप, दुर्घटना, आन्तरिक वा बाह्य अशान्ति वा खतरा वा यस्तै घटनाबाट उठेको समस्याका लागि गर्नुपर्ने काम वा नेपाल सरकारले आकस्मिक भनी तोकेको काम आकस्मिक काम हो। कोष अर्थ मन्त्रालयले सञ्चालन गर्छ र अर्थ सचिव वा निजले तोकेको अधिकृतले अनुसूचीको ढाँचामा स्रेस्ता राख्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 2(ख) and 3(1)-(2), Schedule, PDF pp. 1-2, 4
  • The official asking for an advance must apply through the Ministry of Finance, giving the details of the emergency, the amount needed, why it cannot wait, what would happen without immediate spending, how long the spending is needed and which officer and office will spend it. After Cabinet release, the money is given as an advance, and the Ministry must inform the Department of the Auditor General and the Financial Comptroller General Office.पेश्की माग गर्ने अधिकारीले आकस्मिक कामको विवरण, चाहिएको रकम, काम पछि सार्न नसकिने कारण, तुरुन्त खर्च नगरे हुने परिणाम, कति अवधिसम्म खर्च चाहिने हो र खर्च गर्ने अधिकृत तथा कार्यालय खुलाई अर्थ मन्त्रालयमार्फत माग गर्नुपर्छ। मन्त्रिपरिषद्ले निकासा दिएपछि रकम पेश्कीका रूपमा दिइन्छ र अर्थ मन्त्रालयले महालेखा परीक्षकको विभाग र महालेखा नियन्त्रक कार्यालयलाई सूचना दिनुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rule 4(1)-(2), PDF p. 2
  • When the task is finished, or it is clear it cannot be done, the official must tell the Ministry of Finance, the Department of the Auditor General and the Financial Comptroller General Office at once. Any unspent money must be paid into the Consolidated Fund within 35 days, and those three offices told again. Money spent from the fund is to be repaid into it as soon as possible.आकस्मिक काम सकिएपछि वा सो काम गर्न सम्भावना छैन भन्ने यकिन भएपछि पेश्की माग गर्ने अधिकारीले अर्थ मन्त्रालय, महालेखा परीक्षकको विभाग र महालेखा नियन्त्रक कार्यालयलाई तुरुन्त सूचना दिनुपर्छ। खर्च नभएको बाँकी रकम ३५ दिनभित्र सञ्चित कोषमा दाखिल गरी ती तीन निकायलाई फेरि सूचना दिनुपर्छ। कोषबाट खर्च भएको रकम यथाशीघ्र सोधभर्ना गरिन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 5, 6 and 7, PDF pp. 2-3
