Finance20084 sections
This law amends the Bihar Contingency Fund Act to allow the state government to access more money during a time of emergency. It temporarily raises the fund limit from 350 crores to 2,500 crores to help with relief and rehabilitation efforts following a disaster. The increase is valid until March 31, 2009. The legislation also repeals a previous ordinance but confirms that any actions already taken under that ordinance remain valid. This ensures the state has the necessary financial resources to handle the crisis effectively.
