Where the municipal financial statement was compliant with the State Municipal Accounting Manual-
Each state has its own municipal accounting manual closely modelled on the NMAM. Where there were differences between the State Manual and the National Manual, we re-assigned the codes to be compliant with the NMAM.
Where the municipal financial statement was not compliant with the State Municipal Accounting Manual-
Some of municipal corporations use their own account codes that are different from the State Municipal Accounting code. In such cases, we reassigned the line items with the equivalent NMAM code.
Thus all the municipal financial information has been coded as per NMAM to make it comparable across local bodies.

We plan to cover all the municipal corporations in India which are approximately 205 in number. We have started with 50 municipal corporations and will reach 205 in a year’s time. The database will be updated on a weekly basis.
We have data from year 2012-13 onwards. Not all municipals in the database have data for all the years. Please view the list of municipal data available in the database from the ‘Data List’ in the Menu section.
The property tax data is sourced from the state government websites. We have presented data for all municipal corporations as well as municipal councils in the property tax module.
