Kathmandu, Sept 20: Today's meeting of the House of Representatives has approved two bills. The meeting approved the Finance Bill, 2078 and the Bill to Mobilize Internal Loans, 2078, proposed by Finance Minister Janardan Sharma.
Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota has fixed September 23 for the clause-wise deliberations on the Finance Bill 2078.
Finance Minister Sharma had replied to the queries raised in course of the discussions on the principles of the bill in the meeting.
