The annual budget for the financial year 2019-20 of Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) will be tabled in the meeting of JMC’s General Body. Mayor Vishnu Lata has called for a General Body Meeting (JMC) on February 26 to pass the annual budget.
The state government has given special permission to the JMC to organise the meet.
Under the provisions of the Rajasthan Municipalities Act-2009, the budget for urban bodies should be passed by February 15. After the budget is passed from the urban body, the budget will be sent to state government for approval. The state government may amend the budget provisions.
The Finance Committee of Jaipur Municipal Corporation has prepared a budget of Rs 1870 crore for the financial year 2019-20, which is 18 crores more than last year. Mayor Vishnu Lata had issued orders to convene a general body meeting of JMC on February 7 to pass the annual budget and the agenda was also released. Meanwhile, on February 6, his health worsened and he was admitted to hospital after which JMC Commissioner Vijaypal Singh had postponed the meeting.
Due to the bad health of the Mayor, the JMC budget for the fiscal year 2019-20 was not tabled in GBM. In such a situation, the municipal corporation has to directly send it to the state government for approval, but Lata was not in favour of sending the budget to the state government directly.
Lata wants that the budget of the municipal corporation will be presented in the GBM and will be passed. So he had written a letter to the government seeking relaxation to organise the GBM. Lata told that “under the Rajasthan Municipality Act, the budget should be presented in the municipal corporation’s GBM by February 15. I had written a letter to the state government. We had asked the state government to pass the budget until February 28. The state government has given permission”.
NO MEET LAST YR
Notably, ex-mayor Ashok Lahoti did not convene the meeting of JMC General Body due to assembly budget session and Swachh Sarvekshan- 2018 and the budget of Financial Year 2018-19 was sent directly to govt.
