Monitoring Systems for Municipal Finance and Service Delivery in Urban Local Bodies - Suggestions for the Fourteenth Central Finance Commission

July 2014

A presentation of PAS system was made to the Fourteenth Central Finance Commission, along a note to advocate inclusion of ongoing performance assessment for urban basic services using the SLB framework in its recommendations. The commission seems to have accepted this recommendation and the report of the Fourteenth Central Finance Commission has included publication of service level benchmarks of basic services as one of the three conditions to avail performance-based grant component for urban local governments.
