Financing cities in India :

Mohanty, Prasanna K

Financing cities in India : municipal reforms, fiscal accountability and urban infrastructure / Prasanna K. Mohanty - India Sage Publications 950.00. - 306 p.

This book identifies Indian municipalities as among the weakest globally in terms of access to resources, revenue-raising capacity and fiscal autonomy. Advocating reforms in these sectors, it discusses the lack of clarity, consistency, adequacy and predictability in municipal taxation, user charging, inter-governmental transfers and development financing as key factors plaguing city finances.

Topical and up-to-date, the book brings out the need to align particular types of revenues to particular categories of expenditure so that services can be delivered in a responsive, transparent and accountable manner.
