Everything about Municipal Corporation totally explained
A
municipal corporation is a legal definition for a
local governing body, including (but not necessarily limited to)
cities,
counties,
towns,
townships,
charter townships,
villages, and
boroughs.
Municipal incorporation occurs when such
municipalities become self-governing entities under the laws of the state or province in which they're located. Often, this event is marked by the award or declaration of a
municipal charter.
The term has fallen out of favour in the
United Kingdom, but the concept remains central to
local government in the United Kingdom.
Municipal Corporation in India
In
India a Municipal Corporation is a local government body that administers a city of population 200,000 or more. Under the
Panchayati Raj system, it interacts directly with the state government, though it's administratively part of the district it's located in. The largest Municipal Corporations in India currently are
Mumbai, followed by
Delhi,
Kolkata and
Chennai.
The Municipal Corporation consists of members elected from the
wards of the city. The
Mayor and Deputy Mayor are elected by the members among themselves. A
Municipal Commissioner, who is from the
Indian Administrative Service is appointed to head the administrative staff of the Municipal Corporation, implement the decision of the Corporation and prepare its annual budget.
The Municipal Corporation is responsible for water supply, records of births and deaths (delegated from Central Govt Birth and Death Registration Act), drainage, sewage removal, fire brigade service, gardens and maintenance of buildings. The sources of income of the Corporation are taxes on water, house-tax, entertainment and
octroi(now abolished from many cities).
