Kutchi New year follows the traditional Vikram Sanvant, as Ashadhi Bij vikram sanvant 2069. Means if the Kutchi New yeqar follows the Traditional VIKRAM SANVAT Year , then The Kutchi new year follows the year of Vikram year tradition and NOT before the Vikram Sanvant.
e.g. in Vikram Sanvant 2069 Kutchi year can not be 2070 - So year of the Kutchi New year is supposed to be 2068.
Poor maths in haste of understand the Kutchi new year system
