B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11
Mr. Chairman,
I am presenting to the Standing Committee, the estimates of receipt and income and expenditure pertaining to the Budgets ‘A’, (Fund code 11, 12, 60, 70), ‘B’ (Fund code 21, 22, 23) and ‘G’ (Fund code 40) for the financial year 2010-11 in pursuance of the provisions of Sections 125 and 126 E of M.M.C. Act 1888. I am profoundly delighted to present Budget Estimates of Brihanmumbai Mahanagarpalika as the Municipal Commissioner for the first time. When I took over as chief of the Municipal administration of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, which is one of the foremost in not only the Nation, but across the globe, I had to face two very stiff challenges. One, the drinking water crisis faced by Mumbaikars due to scant rainfall and second the critical financial position of the M.C.G.M. Water Supply Problem Water is the lifeline of all living beings, but its availability is totally dependent on the quantum of seasonal rains. The daily average requirement of water of the city of Mumbai is 3400 million litres. However, barring 4 days in August 2009, the rains had turned their back on the entire Maharashtra. As a result, this year, the reservoirs like Tansa, Vaitarna, Bhatsa, Upper Vaitarna, Vihar etc. did not reach the desired levels which normally overflow in the mid of August every year. An attempt was made to induce artificial rain in the catchment area from August 23 to October 22, 2009. In the meantime, due to natural rainfall and the artificial rainfall, water levels in Tansa and Modak Sagar increased to a certain extent, but due to absence of rains thereafter, the water level in the Bhatsa, Upper Vaitarna and Vihar did not rise to the expected levels.

Though there have been non seasonal rains in October / November in the state, the Mumbai region was devoid of any rains. Due to the rains having disappeared since October, a stiff challenge of supplying water to the entire city till the end of July-2010 has arisen. Taking the gravity of the water problem into account, wardwise meetings were organized between the Councillors, Administrative Officers and the Citizens to create awareness. The media also has taken note of the intensity of this problem which is increasing day by day and has helped in creating awareness to the great deal, through news, articles, etc. In the meantime, barring one or two unpleasant incidents in the agitations on the water supply problem, the average Mumbaikars have been extremely patient and understanding. It wouldn’t be out of place to mention here, that the citizens of Mumbai have developed a psyche to stoically deal with this natural calamity. Considering the current availability of water reserves and keeping in mind the dire need of preserving these reserves till the forthcoming rains, the administration has decided on reduction in water supply and all the councilors have consented to it. Taking the note of the water supply problem in Mumbai, the Govt. of Maharashtra has made available 199 TMC water to Mumbai City. I express my sincere gratitude to the citizens of Mumbai, Govt. of Maharashtra and all the Councillors of Brihanmumbai Mahanagarpalika for their support in handling the water crisis of Mumbai till the date. Financial position of M.C.G.M. While presenting the Budget Estimates for the year 2009-10 to the Standing Committee, the then M.C. had elaborated on the present and the future financial position of the MCGM. At that time, it was pointed out
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 2
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 that the global recession might adversely affect the economy of MCGM and finally the projects / works which are undertaken or would be undertaken in future. It was also anticipated that the collection of Octroi, which is a main source of income of MCGM, may also get reduced during this recession period. It was also categorically mentioned that at one hand there would be reduction in estimated income and at the other hand there would be increase in expenditure. It was also stated that the establishment cost has gone up due to implementation of revised payscales and it was envisaged that this cost would further increase in the next year due to payment of arrears on account of revision of payscales. Hence, it was also specifically pointed out that if we resort to provide more funds to the project works within the limited resources, it would have adverse effect on municipal finance. Before elaborating the Revised Estimates for the year 2009-10 and Budget Estimates for the year 2010-11, I feel it necessary to comment on the present and future financial position of the MCGM once again. The predictions made in respect of the financial position of the MCGM last year seem to have come true to some extent. On the background of the noticeable downfall in collection of Octroi, which is the main source of municipal income, during first six months of this financial year in the wake of worldwide recession, inability to give contribution for meeting capital expenditure from revenue accounts while preparing the Budget Estimates for the year 2009-10, the raising of loans out of internal funds to meet the capital expenditure of Rs.5975.18 crores for the year 2009-10 and the withdrawal of almost all amount to the tune of Rs.2470.50 crores from the special funds created as a part of our long term fiscal policy on the one hand, while on the other hand the abnormal rise in establishment
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 3
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 cost every month due to revision of payscales of municipal employees on the lines of the 6th Pay Commission retrospectively from 1.4.2005, the huge financial liability due to the large scale variations in the ongoing contracts for the project works of some of the departments due to certain reasons and especially as it was not possible to invite tenders for new project works during the period of model code of conduct for Parliamentary and Assembly elections held during the year 2009-10, it has become imperative to review the present financial position and future financial position of the MCGM as well. In this context, a circular for adopting economy measures has been issued. Accordingly, in order to apprise the Standing Committee of the present and future financial positions, a detailed report on the financial position of the MCGM has been placed before the Standing Committee and this report is still under consideration of the Standing Committee. In this circular regarding the economy measures, a 25% saving was suggested in the works carried out by the Civil Works Contractors and a 10% saving was suggested in other revenue expenditure. Saving to the extent of approximately Rs. 400 to 450 crores in the expenditure was expected thereby. There was a detailed deliberation on this report about MCGM’s financial position in the Standing Committee. During this meeting, the Hon’ble Standing Committee members strongly objected to the proposed 25% saving and insisted on withdrawal of the proposed reduction. After a comprehensive discussion, I honoured the sentiments of the Hon’ble Councillors and declared a decision that this 25% reduction would not be made applicable to “Ward Development Fund” and “Councillor’s Fund”. This decision was communicated to all the concerned.

2. Budgetary Reforms 2.1 Significant Progress on Outcome Based Budget In continuation of my announcement in the 2009-10 Budget about the roadmap of the outcome-based budget of the M.C.G.M. I am happy to inform that we have succeeded in developing a model for outcome-based budget during the year. A package of output-based performance indicators and outcome-based performance indicators to measure the progress and performance of activities in all 19 departments of the M.C.G.M has been prepared by the consultants ‘Society for Development Studies (SDS)’ on the basis of research work done by them. The complete report in this regard prepared by the consultant is being studied and discussed in detail. On final acceptance of this report by the Municipal Administration, further action will be taken accordingly. While we recognize that considerable improvement remains to be done with respect to the coverage and to an extent, the quality of the data base, it is nevertheless, a credible achievement in a government system where data generation and recording of operations, roadblocks and performance is not yet given the due attention. I may assure all of you that this major roadblock in developing a comprehensive and credible database on the operations in the M.C.G.M. will be effectively resolved during 2010-11.
2.2 Outcome Roadmap made Operational In situations where the level of attainment was not satisfactory, we have assessed the key roadblocks and their causative factors in the case of
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 5
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 the four pilot department programmes undertaken during the year for the outcome budget. We have examined the issues that result in fire-fighting activities year after year in some of our programmes. This has happened as problems and initiatives taken to address them were not recorded and the feedback from the ground did not get reflected in programme planning and budgeting exercises in the subsequent years. The year 2009-10 has launched the process, though modest at present, in capturing the operational roadblocks in our city planning and programme framework.
2.3 Outcome Work Plan for 2010-11 Capacity building of both technical and finance officials on issues of outcome budget, SAP, and Monitoring and Evaluation system will be undertaken in 2010-11. To institutionalize the outcome system in M.C.G.M, we have provided an outlay to establish the Outcome Advisory Board to oversee development and installation of the full process of outcome-oriented integrated project planning, budgeting and expenditure monitoring system. The Board, under my Chairmanship, will include representatives of Government of Maharashtra, Government of India representatives of all party councilors of MCGM and independent experts knowledgeable of the outcome process. The Board will be assisted by Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) cells in all the departments and their activities will be coordinated by the Outcome Cell in the Finance Department. I propose to
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 6
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 make this new outcome system fully operational in the first quarter of 2010-11.
2.4 M.C.G.M. Outcomes for Greater Mumbai With a well developed outcome-based approach to city planning, programme development, budgeting and programme management, we expect final outcomes of M.C.G.M. services to the people of Greater
Mumbai to be reflected in Mumbai becoming a major global investment destination, with higher productivity and city incomes, and improved quality of life of the citizens in our great metropolis. Mumbai will not only retain its national recognition as the country’s financial capital but will also emerge as a global financial centre and an universally recognized world class city.

5. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BUDGET PROPOSALS FOR 2010-11
Before elaborating the revenue and capital budget estimates for the year 2010-11, it is necessary to comment on the present and future financial position of the M.C.G.M.
The current financial position of the MCGM is not robust enough to accept any irrational liability on large scale and this underlines the need to exercise stringent control over revenue as well as capital expenditure. It also underlines the need to explore new avenues / sources of revenue generation, and ways to increase revenues from existing sources; otherwise it would be extremely difficult to maintain the municipal economy.
The economy of MCGM is even today mainly dependent on revenue generated through our main source of revenue i.e. octroi.
However, it is the general experience that during the global recession, many industries and businesses, trades are either closed or they choose to migrate outside the city limits that results in reduction in import of octroi leviable goods. During the period of 1995 to 1999, it was observed that due to revision of payscales, allowances, and pensionary benefits of MCGM employees, the establishment cost of MCGM had shot up, which resulted in excess of municipal expenditure than the municipal revenue and MCGM plunged into financial deficit.
To overcome the financial deficits from 1995-1999, measures like hike in octroi tariff / revision of rates of octroi, revision in property tax
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 36
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 rates and revisions in the schedule of fees / charges levied by various departments had to be resorted to together with curtailment in unnecessary expenditure. Even then, as octroi was the major source of income for
MCGM, it became imperative to revise the octroi tariff, in order to bridge the gap between the income and expenditure of MCGM. Accordingly, the octroi tariff was revised thrice, i.e. in August 1998, April-2000 and August-
2002. After octroi, the next major source of revenue is the property tax, and as such, to boost the revenue, the rates of property tax under the budgets ‘A’ and ‘E’ had to be increased by about 19% during 1.4.1997 to
2000. However, the M.M.C. Act has predefined upper limits for the levying of all such taxes. The road tax has reached the maximum limit in
1998-99, while the education cess has reached its maximum limit in 2000-
01. Now, there remains scope only to increase the general tax by 24% (as additional upper limit) and the fire tax by 1% only. I have already discussed this in detail, in my comprehensive report put up before the
Standing Committee earlier.
As mentioned hereinabove in my statement, there has been an abnormal growth in establishment costs due to the revision of payscales of
MCGM employees based on 6th pay Commission. However, the income of
MCGM has not increased proportionately. Besides, an alternative to boost the income by increasing property tax is also not available to the MCGM.
In this scenario, revision of octroi tariff and octroi rates appears to be the
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 37
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 only available option. However, this option also needs to be exercised with a lot of circumspection.
Hence, increasing the revenue and reduction / avoidance of expenditure which is not mandatory are the only alternatives left with
MCGM in the current situation with a view to accommodating its expenditure within the available income.
With a view to increasing MCGM’s revenue, the then MC has already directed all the HODs to review the various charges / fees charged by their respective departments, as well as to study and explore the new sources of income / revenue without imposing any extra burden by way of taxes on the citizens. I have also held meetings at the level of AMCs to explore the feasibilities of additional resource mobilization (ARM) and have asked them to come forward with such proposals on priority basis.
Also, I have instructed the AMCs and HoDs to rigorously follow up for recovering the dues pending with various Govt. bodies at their level. I am hopeful that these measures would contribute a great deal in finding new sources of revenue and thereby increase the income of MCGM.
In my report submitted to the Standing Committee earlier, I have pointed out that the MCGM incurs a lot of expenditure on discretionary duties like, developing Theme Gardens, Swimming pools, Sports
Complexes, Open Air Theatres, Drama Theatres, New Secondary Schools,
Medical Colleges, running Vocational Institutes etc. and huge cost is being incurred on the construction and maintenance of these facilities. In fact, it
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 38
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 is not an obligatory duty of the MCGM to create and maintain gardens, entertainment places, swimming pools, etc. These discretionary duties are expected to be performed by MCGM out of its surplus funds after providing sufficient funds for discharging it’s mandatory duties. With the backdrop of the current delicate financial situation of MCGM, it has become mandatory to exercise a stringent control over such discretionary duties and functions. Such unwarranted spending on such discretionary functions would lead to paucity of funds required for performing obligatory functions of MCGM in the future.
Keeping this in view, it would be prudent to withhold altogether new projects like Theme gardens except to complete the ongoing such projects. Also, redeveloping the existing markets / municipal buildings, constructing new hospital buildings, municipal malls and other such altogether new projects if at all to be carried out would be better executed with Public Private Partnership (PPP) by opening such fields to private sector. This would ease the financial burden of MCGM and the citizens would also not be deprived of such amenities. Moreover, it also needs to be ensured that all such projects are self supporting. With this view, it is proposed to hold the projects like upgradation of CTI&RC, construction of
Super Specialty Hospitals, for the present. The feasibility of reserving certain part of “Ashray” project for commercial purposes is also being explored, so that builders and developers are attracted to these projects and
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 39
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 the financial burden is eased to some extent. I intend to draft a comprehensive policy in this regard.
On the backdrop of critical financial position of M.C.G.M., it has been decided not to undertake new projects in the ensuing financial year. However, the big ongoing projects which are already taken in hand will be completed during the ensuing year only. The substantial provisions have been proposed for the projects which are to be completed in the coming financial year. I have issued clear instructions to all the concerned HoDs that these projects should be completed during the next year by fully utilizing the grants allocated and no additional provisions would be made available in the subsequent years for these projects. On the similar lines, no major cement concretization projects for roads have been proposed in the next year’s budget estimates and provisions for ongoing projects only have been proposed except the asphalt roads and usual road maintenance works. A decision to hold the new projects of cement concretization has been taken as a matter of policy.
The Revised Budget Estimates for the year 2009-10 In the Budget Estimates for 2009-10, to meet the Capital expenditure of Rs.5975.18 crores, it was proposed to withdraw an amount of Rs.2470.50 crores from the Special funds created as a part of our long term policy and balance amount of Rs.2597.50 crores except anticipated Capital receipts was proposed to be raised by raising loan out of internal funds. Accordingly, a proposal was submitted to the State
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 40
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11
Govt. as required under section 106 of the MMC Act for seeking their approval to such raising of internal loan and it was proposed therein to repay this Internal loan within 10 year’s financial period from 2010-11 to 2019-2020 @8% interest. The Government Resolution of the Urban Development Department, Maharashtra state No.meJe&mee.(yeerScemeer)- 2509/2021/He´.ke´À.112/veefJe-21 efo.8 peevesJeejer, 2010 is received wherein it is stated that the approval is accorded to raise the temporary internal loan of Rs.1000 crores only out of other deposits except Provident Fund and Pension Fund to meet the Capital expenditure during the financial year 2009-10 and this loan is to be repaid at interest rate of 8% during one year. Thus, the State Govt. has sanctioned our internal loan of Rs.1000 crores only instead of Rs.2597.50 crores as proposed by the MCGM. Similarly, the State Govt. has imposed a condition to repay this temporary internal loan of Rs.1000 crores within one year @8% interest rate as against our demand to raise the internal loan @8% interest rate for the period from 2009-10 to 2019-2020. This means that this amount of Rs.1000 crores will be required to be shown as loan in the Revised Estimates for 2009-10 and at the same time that much amount will have to be shown as expenditure out of revenue towards repayment in the Budget Estimates for 2010-11, which are prepared simultaneously. This is merely an exercise on paper. This loan amount would not actually be available for expenditure purpose. The Secretary, Urban Development Department, Govt. of Maharashtra has, therefore, been requested to review the Govt. Resolution and to issue fresh Govt. Resolution extending the period of
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 41
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 repayment of loan upto 10 years on the lines of earlier Govt. Resolutions. However, the revised Govt. Resolution is still awaited. As such, while preparing the Revised Estimates for 2009-10, the internal loan of Rs.1000 crores is not taken into account. The economy measures have been adopted during this year. The circular in this regard has already been issued. Such economy measures involved the various alternatives like postponement of payment of arrears to the Municipal employees due to revision of payscales, to apply the alternative of deferred payment in the next year in respect of the proposals for variation in contract costs in case of big project works, as well as the 10% saving in Revenue Expenditure. On account of these economy measures, with a view to restricting the expenditure during the year 2009-10 within the estimated and actual income, it is proposed to restrict the revised estimates for the current year to the extent of Rs.4222 crores as compared to estimated Rs.5975 crores. On this backdrop, I now mention some of the important features of the activities in the Budget Estimates 2010-11.

Long term Fiscal Policy:
As a part of MCGM’s long term policy and to ensure that development works are not hampered due to shortage of funds, it was decided from 2003-04 to increase the contribution to various special funds and raise new funds as well with view to bringing financial stability to the MCGM. However, since last 2 years, it has not been possible to give sufficient contribution to capital expenditure from revenue income. To bridge the gap between MCGM’s expenditure and the total income of MCGM, in the year 2009-10 to meet the capital expenditure, it was required to withdraw large sums of money from the special funds created from 2003-04 as a part of MCGM’s long-term fiscal policy. In the next year too, it would be required to withdraw nearly entire amounts from these funds in order to meet the capital expenditure. As such, with regret, I have to mention that from 2011-12 and onwards, there will not be any reserve funds available in these special funds to meet the Capital works expenditure. This fact is really a matter of concern for an advanced Municipal Corporation like MCGM and also is not very desirable from the MCGM’s financial planning point of view. Under the provisions of section 126 (2) (d) of the M.M.C. Act, the Standing Committee shall allow a minimum cash balance of Rs.1 lakh while framing the Budget Estimates ‘A’ which means that as per the provisions of the Act, it is mandatory to restrict the expenditure within the income. Moreover, at present no funds are available for capital expenditure from revenue income after meeting the revenue expenditure. As such, there is no other alternative but to raise loans
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 114
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 for meeting the capital expenditure. However, under the provisions of section 109 of the MMC Act, there are restrictions on the amount of loans to be raised. As such, it is not possible to meet the Capital Expenditure by way of raising loans all the time. In view of this, it has now become essential to think of plan to meet the capital expenditure mainly from revenue income of the Corporation and only the bare minimum from raising loans. For healthy financial condition; it is necessary that at least 30% of revenue should be re-appropriated for meeting capital expenditure. Mumbai, being the leading metropolis in the country, is renowned for providing best services to the citizens. To maintain this reputation, continuous and substantial financial provision is a must for which a long term fiscal policy is necessary. Accordingly it has become extremely essential to restrict the expenditure within the revenue resources. For this, it has become necessary to control the increasing expenditure especially on establishment. For this, it shall be our endeavor to reduce and restrict the establishment cost upto 50% from present 60% to 65% of the revenue expenditure in the years to come. As per JNNURM norms, to avail of the funds under this mission, the establishment cost needs to be brought down to 40% step by step. From this point of view, I feel that the pay revision period for the MCGM employees should be 10 years instead of 5 years on the lines of State Govt. / Central Govt. and the 6th Pay Commission, so that MCGM gets enough time to overcome the establishment cost increase caused by pay revisions. Similarly restricting the day-to-day expenditure on various departments to the extent of 20% of the revenue income and
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF GREATER MUMBAI 115
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 transferring balance 30% amount for Capital expenditure and debt charges is under consideration. As the present surplus is nominal, we are not in a position to go on spending spree. Our first priority is to ensure financial stability so that shortage of resources does not mar the developmental works in future. Accordingly, as a part of long term policy, it is necessary to increase the contributions to the various funds as well as to create new funds. Developmental works will be taken in hand in stages during immediate next year to come and such works can be continued at a brisker pace once there is sufficient accretion to these funds. As stated hereinabove in my note, on the backdrop of the worldwide recession, the estimated income for the next year which is in fact on lower side may not realize as expected. At the same time, there would be considerable increase in the establishment cost due to revision of grades of the municipal employees and funds on large scale would be required to meet the capital expenditure required for the ongoing projects. Considering this, it has been proposed to utilize the funds on large scale from the accumulated funds under various special funds and the additional required fund is proposed to be raised by way of loan through internal funds. Even in such a situation, the Corporation will continue to discharge its various civic responsibilities equally during the next financial year without imposing any additional burden on the citizens/tax payers, neither by way of hike in the present taxes nor by imposing the new taxes. As a result, standard of civic services and facilities to be provided to the citizens will be

B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 improved and facilitate its gradual transformation into a truly world class city.
While concluding my statement on the Budget, I would like to reiterate that though the estimates of Rs.20,353.95 crores have been submitted for the year 2010-11 in present critical financial position of the M.C.G.M., Budget Estimates of such huge amount have been prepared with a view that the capital works already undertaken are not adversely affected. Moreover, neither any hike in the rates of the present taxes is proposed nor any new taxes have been imposed in the Budget Estimates for 2010-11. I have intended to keep the expenditure within the estimated income so that citizens of Mumbai are not burdened with additional taxes, while ensuring that also we are not required to face deficit in future. However, it cannot be neglected that while doing so, a sizeable amount of Rs.3105.43 crores had to be withdrawn from accumulated surplus and various special funds created as a part of long term fiscal policy. As such, there remains very nominal balance amount in the special funds. In addition, a loan of Rs.3000 crores is also required to be raised. This is a matter of concern from the municipal financial planning point of view. As such, it is now extremely necessary to implement the planned programme for exercising stringent control over expenditure and to increase the municipal income from now onwards. I have already discussed in detail in this statement, the various measures to be undertaken to restrict the municipal expenditure within the municipal income.

B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11
The main focus will be on following few measures of increasing municipal revenue in the ensuing financial year :- • The tax system based on Capital value will be introduced which is expected to fetch more revenue from property tax. Though in the initial period, there may not be substantial increase in the revenue, it is expected to bounce noticeably in the coming years. • The modernization of major octroi nakas shall be completed on priority basis. Moreover, the modern equipments / devices like scanners etc. will be installed expeditiously. This will not only result in transparency in recovery of octroi but will also provide check on octroi evasion, leading to increase in income from octroi. • The matter is being pursued with the State Government for the early decision in the issue of premia on account of additional 0.33 FSI. The additional revenue is expected from this item once the decisions are arrived at. Against this background, I am extremely confident that once the initiatives and projects proposed in these Budget Estimates are materialized, the process of overall development of Mumbai will gather further momentum. Looking forward to your wholehearted participation and cooperation, I present for consideration and approval of the Standing Committee the Budget Estimates for a surplus Revenue and Capital Budget ‘A’ (Fund Code- 11,12,60,70), a balanced Budget ‘B’ (Fund Code - 21,22,23) and surplus Budget ‘G’ (Fund Code - 40) for the year 2010-11.
