What does it do?

  • The Fund may invest in basic social service and income-generating projects run by town development bodies (alone or in consortium or joint financing with banks), in government bonds, and in shares, debentures and bonds of banks, financial institutions and organised institutions. It may buy an institution's shares or debentures only up to 10% of that institution's capital or 10% of the Fund's capital, whichever is lower, and may put up to 15% of its capital into consortium or joint financing.कोषले नगर विकाससँग सम्बन्धित निकायका आधारभूत सामाजिक सेवा र आयमूलक आयोजना (आफैं वा बैङ्क तथा वित्तीय संस्थासँग कन्सोर्टियम वा संयुक्त लगानीमा), नेपाल सरकारका ऋणपत्र र बैङ्क, वित्तीय संस्था वा सङ्गठित संस्थाका शेयर, डिबेन्चर तथा ऋणपत्रमा लगानी गर्न सक्छ। कुनै संस्थाको शेयर वा डिबेन्चरमा सो संस्थाको पूँजीको दश प्रतिशत वा कोषको पूँजीको दश प्रतिशतमध्ये जुन घटी हुन्छ त्यतिमा मात्र लगानी गर्न सक्छ। कन्सोर्टियम वा संयुक्त लगानीमा कोषको पूँजीको १५ प्रतिशतसम्म लगाउन सक्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 3, 6 and 8, PDF pp. 2-4
  • The Fund may issue debentures or other bonds worth up to 25% of its total movable and immovable assets, or more if backed by a bank's or institution's guarantee. It must get Nepal Rastra Bank's prior approval and publish the amount, repayment period, interest rate and payment dates in at least two major national newspapers. Buyers apply to the Fund with the money, and the Fund decides finally how much each may buy.कोषले आफ्नो कुल चल तथा अचल सम्पत्तिको पच्चीस प्रतिशतसम्मको डिबेन्चर वा ऋणपत्र जारी गर्न सक्छ, र कुनै बैङ्क वा संस्थाको जमानीमा सो जमानी बराबरको ऋणपत्र पनि जारी गर्न सक्छ। यसका लागि नेपाल राष्ट्र बैङ्कको पूर्वस्वीकृति लिनुपर्छ र ऋणको जम्मा मूल्य, भुक्तानी अवधि, ब्याजदर र ब्याज भुक्तानी समय खुलाई कम्तीमा दुई प्रमुख राष्ट्रिय पत्रिकामा सूचना प्रकाशित गर्नुपर्छ। किन्न चाहनेले रकमसहित कोषमा निवेदन दिनुपर्छ र कसले कति पाउने भन्ने अन्तिम निर्णय कोषले गर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 7 and 9, PDF pp. 3-4
  • An Investment Promotion Committee, chaired by the executive director with two members nominated for three years, advises on investment policy. The board sets the interest rate on loans to town development bodies on its recommendation. Borrowers must repay principal and interest regularly in the instalments set in the loan agreement. If the Fund needs to take over a defaulting borrower's property, the committee recommends its value based on market prices of similar property and normal depreciation.कार्यकारी निर्देशकको अध्यक्षतामा तीन वर्षका लागि मनोनीत दुई सदस्य रहने लगानी प्रवर्द्धन समितिले लगानी नीतिबारे सुझाव दिन्छ। यसको सिफारिसमा समितिले नगर विकाससँग सम्बन्धित निकायलाई दिने ऋणको ब्याजदर तोक्छ। ऋणीले ऋण सम्झौताअनुसारका किस्तामा साँवा र ब्याज नियमित रूपमा तिर्नुपर्छ। ऋणीको सम्पत्ति कोषले आफैं लिनुपरेमा लगानी प्रवर्द्धन समितिले उस्तै सम्पत्तिको बजार मूल्य र प्रचलित ह्रास कट्टी हेरी मोल सिफारिस गर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 4, 11, 12 and 13, PDF pp. 2-3, 5
  • The executive director must hold a master's degree in economics, chartered accountancy or engineering with at least five years' experience in the field, or a bachelor's degree in one of these with at least seven years. If the director is reported to have harmed the Fund or broken board policy, a three-member inquiry committee investigates. Before removal the director must be told the reasons and given time to explain, and may be barred from duties during the inquiry if continuing would harm the Fund.कार्यकारी निर्देशक हुन अर्थशास्त्र, चार्टर्ड एकाउन्टेन्सी वा इन्जिनियरिङमध्ये कुनै विषयमा स्नातकोत्तर गरी सम्बन्धित क्षेत्रमा कम्तीमा पाँच वर्ष, वा स्नातक गरी कम्तीमा सात वर्षको अनुभव चाहिन्छ। निर्देशकले कोषलाई हानि पुर्‍याएको वा समितिको नीतिविपरीत काम गरेको जानकारी आएमा तीन सदस्यीय जाँचबुझ समितिले छानबिन गर्छ। हटाउनुअघि कारण र आधार खोली स्पष्टीकरणको मौका दिनुपर्छ, र काम गर्न दिँदा कोषको हितविपरीत हुने देखिएमा जाँचबुझ अवधिभर कामकाजमा रोक लगाइन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 14 and 16(1)-(5), PDF pp. 5-6
  • The Fund must keep its accounts up to date on a double-entry basis in the format the board sets. Board members, the executive director and every employee must take the oath in the Schedule before taking up duties, including a promise not to reveal confidential matters.कोषले समितिले तोकेको ढाँचामा दोहोरो लेखा प्रणालीअनुसार आय–व्ययको लेखा अद्यावधिक राख्नुपर्छ। सदस्य, कार्यकारी निर्देशक र प्रत्येक कर्मचारीले पद सम्हाल्नुअघि अनुसूचीबमोजिम शपथ लिनुपर्छ, जसमा गोप्य कुरा नखोल्ने प्रतिज्ञा पनि छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 17 and 19, Schedule, PDF pp. 6-8
