What does it do?

  • These rules were made by the Commission itself under Section 22 of its Act. They list the study work behind its recommendations: setting the basis and standards for fairly sharing benefits from natural resources, working out how much money is transferred to provinces and local levels, assessing their spending needs and revenue capacity, and preparing the basis and formula for dividing revenue from the federal Consolidated Fund. Provinces and local levels must send it regular data for equalisation grants.यो नियमावली आयोग आफैँले ऐनको दफा २२ बमोजिम बनाएको हो। यसले आयोगका सिफारिसका आधार बन्ने अध्ययनका काम तोक्छ: प्राकृतिक स्रोतबाट प्राप्त लाभको न्यायोचित वितरणको आधार र मापदण्ड, प्रदेश र स्थानीय तहलाई हुने वित्तीय हस्तान्तरणको परिमाण, तिनको खर्चको आवश्यकता र राजस्व क्षमता पहिचान तथा सङ्घीय सञ्चित कोषबाट राजस्व बाँडफाँटको आधार र ढाँचा तयार गर्ने। वित्तीय समानीकरण अनुदानका लागि सङ्घ, प्रदेश र स्थानीय तहबाट नियमित रूपमा सूचना र तथ्याङ्क लिइन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Preamble and Rule 3(क)-(ङ), PDF pp. 1-2

  • A federal, provincial or local body that wants the Commission's advice must send a request, decided by an authorised official, with the details in Schedule 2: the problem, the legal provisions causing it and its own proposed solution. The Commission may then give advice. It may also take on experts or specialist bodies under contract, but must get the Ministry of Finance's agreement before fixing their pay.आयोगसँग सुझाव चाहने नेपाल सरकार, प्रदेश सरकार वा स्थानीय तहले अख्तियारप्राप्त अधिकारीबाट निर्णय गराई अनुसूची-२ बमोजिम समस्याको व्यहोरा, समस्या ल्याएका कानूनी प्रावधान र आफ्नो प्रस्तावित उपायसहित अनुरोध पठाउनुपर्छ। त्यसपछि आयोगले आवश्यक सुझाव दिन सक्छ। आयोगले करारमा विशेषज्ञ वा विशिष्टीकृत निकायको सेवा लिन सक्छ, तर पारिश्रमिक तोक्नुअघि अर्थ मन्त्रालयको सहमति लिनुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 14(1)-(3) and 17(1)-(2), Schedule 2, PDF pp. 7, 10-11, 14
