Proviso generally contains an exception to the main section. when a main section is not clear, a proviso may give an indication of its true mening.
Explanation is generally a clarification of the legislative mind. It explains the meaning of the word contained in the section.

Proviso Vs Explanation
Proviso: It is a term which states a condition or exception to the section being read. It must be read with the main rule/setion.
Explanation: For the purpose of proper understanding a section is defined so as to give a more proper interpretation to the reader.
