  • The Impact of GST on Municipal Finances in India: a Case Study of Mumbai
    SEPTEMBER 2018 ISSUE NO. 257 The Impact of GST on Municipal Finances in India: A Case Study of Mumbai SAYLI MANKIKAR ABSTRACT The post-GST Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) Budget of 201819 was the first to contend with the abolition of octroi, which was previously its largest and most robust source of revenue. One year after the introduction of the General Services Tax (GST) by the central government, the MCGM has been forced to find new financing sources. While the state government of Maharashtra has assured that the loss of octroi will be compensated, this move raises larger questions about financial power in the hands of urban local bodies (ULBs). It is imperative to discuss issues such as the need to give ULBs a share in the GST, the role of toothless state machineries such as the state finance commission, the failure to implement the 74th Amendment of the Constitution, and the need for long-term strategies to improve the financial situation and level of services offered by large municipal corporations such as MCGM.
