sounds to me like you have lost your neutral if you have removed the neutral from the board then you will get 230volts on the neutral between the earth and neutral , not a very clever thing to do as you could electricute yourself if you touch it, to test it properly do an r1r2 test to ensure you have good continuity on the circuits then do an r2rn to ensure you have neutral continuity
so the N is dangling and there are 1 or more lights switched on. as the circuit is open circuit at the n END, then you will have 0 volt drop across the load, therefore you will get the line voltage on the N.
So even when I remove a neutral from a different circuit in the fuseboard and test between Earth and that neutral the voltage will still be 230v?
