What could we not establish?

• The original Investment Board Act 2068 (2011) is not in Policy Nepal's law collection and was not read.मूल लगानी बोर्ड ऐन, २०६८ (सन् २०११) पोलिसी नेपालको कानून सङ्ग्रहमा छैन र पढिएको छैन।
• The English intro states project-cost thresholds (Rs. 6 billion; 200 MW). They were left out because the Act was amended twice in 2081 and the thresholds were not checked against the current text.अंग्रेजी परिचयमा आयोजनाको लागत तथा क्षमताका सीमा (रु. ६ अर्ब; २०० मेगावाट) उल्लेख छन्। ऐन २०८१ मा दुई पटक संशोधन भएको र ती सीमा हालको पाठसँग तुलना नगरिएकाले यहाँ समावेश गरिएका छैनन्।
