Municipal Accounting Reforms in India: An Implementation Guide
India's first generation of economic reforms made a significant change in the perception of the role of local self-government bodies in the Indian public governance system. One of the important reforms introduced during this period was the Constitution (Seventy-fourth Amendment) Act, 1992. This reform empowered the urban local bodies in India to function as local self-governments as the third tier of governance. With the view to further strengthen these urban local bodies in their financial management the central government also developed guidelines for moving to a double entry accrual-based accounting system through the introduction of a National Municipal Accounts Manual.
This working paper provides guidance for implementing municipal accounting reforms in ADB's urban projects in India. The objectives of this paper are to highlight the importance of implementing accounting reforms in the urban local bodies, to inform the processes involved in the implementation, and thus to provide the way forward to improve urban local bodies' financial status and overall management.

As per the Confederation of Real Estate Developer Association of India Report 2019, the urban population of India will contribute three-fourths the of the country’s GDP by 2030. However, to achieve the same, massive reforms are required in terms of ramping up the infrastructural needs of the cities. The city government needs to provide efficient, effective, and responsive urban services to attract investment and contribute to economic development. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen the financial health of the city government. The study points out some problems, especially related to indicators for measuring the financial performance of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to judge the financial health. Five different financial aspects are considered to measure the comparative financial performance. The Siliguri Municipal Corporation has performed better in revenue and resource mobilization performance. The Asansol Municipal Corporation is better in liquidity and solvency performance. Both have the same position in expenditure and expenditure management performance.
