AMRUT’s New Reforms to be achieved in FY 2017-18

Ministry of Urban Development has evolved a new reform matrix to enable State and City Governments go beyondthe present incrementalism of taking small steps towards implementing transformational reforms over the next threeyears, for a turn around in urban governance, planning and finance.

The concerned Group of Secretaries in their report on urban sector have recommended that “After a review of theschemes over the years, the Group felt that instead of an incremental approach, the time has come for ushering intransformational reforms in Governance, Planning and Finance”. Major reforms recommended by the Group ofSecretaries are;

1. Moving to a Trust and Verify Approach: Instead of the present practice of verifying first and approvinglater, it has been recommended that trust needs to be reposed in the citizens and approvals may be accordedfirst and to be verified later, inverting the model of verifying first and approving later which is resulting inhuge delays. This ‘Trust and Verify’ approach has been recommended in respect of Permissions for buildingconstruction, Change of title in municipal records (mutation) and Birth and Death registration, involving thelargest number of physical interactions between city governments and citizens.

2. Formulating Land Titling Laws: The Group quoting a study by McKinsey noted that over 90% of the landrecords in the country are unclear and land market distortions and unclear land titles are costing the country1.30% of GDP per year and accordingly recommended enactment of Land Titling Laws and theirimplementation in a specific time frame.

3. Credit Rating of Urban Local Bodies

4. Value Capture Financing: Noting that the total revenues of the municipal sector accounts for only 0.75% ofthe country’s GDP as against 6% for South Africa, 5% for Brazil and 4.50% for Poland, the Grouprecommended Municipal Bonds further to Credit Rating of ULBs and Value Capture Finance tools formeeting the capital expenditure needs of cities.

5. Improving Professionalism of ULBs: Quoting investment bank Goldman Sachs report, the Group ofSecretaries noted that a bureaucracy that is based on merit rather than seniority could add nearly a percentagepoint annually to the country’s per capita GDP growth. It also expressed concern over shortage of qualifiedtechnical staff and managerial supervisors in ULBs preventing innovation, the Group recommended inductionof professionals in city governments by encouraging lateral induction and filling top positions in cities(Commissioners and Heads of Finance and Revenue) through open competition.

To incentivize, implementation of these five transformational reforms, the Ministry of Urban Development hasproposed to increase Reform Incentive Fund from Rs.500 cr during 2017-18 to over Rs.3,000 cr per year over thenext three years of implementation period. Cities will be ranked based on performance under each reform categoryfor providing reform incentive. Rs.400 cr was distributed during 2016-17 for those who pursued reforms indicatedin AMRUT Guidelines
