Suggestions to the Sixteenth Finance Commission for Urban Local Bodies
November 2024
This note urges the Sixteenth Finance Commission (XVI-FC) to recognise the importance of a digital data portal for regular monitoring of urban services and to help strengthen monitoring systems in urban local governments (ULBs) in India. It makes a recommendation for continuing the grants linked to annual notification of the service level benchmarks (SLBs) for urban basic services including water supply, sanitation and solid waste management.
