(200) (4) S J 1408 2 SECTION - I U I Note : This section contains five (5) questions based on the following paragraph. Each question should be answered in about thirty (30) words and carries five (5) marks. (5x5=25 marks) ( 5) (30) ( 5) (5x5=25 ) Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage. The first and most serious problem facing the urban local bodies is the acute scarcity of finance. Generally, their sources of income are inadequate as compared to their functions. Their chief sources of income are the varied types of taxes. However, most of the income generating taxes are levied by the Union and State Governments and, the taxes collected by the urban bodies are not sufficient to cover the expenses of the services provided. Though they can impose certain new taxes, the elected members of these urban bodies hesitate in doing so for fear of displeasing their electorate. The administrative machinery, at the disposal of these local bodies, is insufficient and ineffective. The staff, which is often underpaid, indulges in corrupt practices which leads to loss of income. Quite often, failure in collecting taxes leads to accumulation of arrears running into crores of rupees. As a result, many urban bodies are on the brink of bankruptcy. Financial stringency has become the biggest hurdle for almost all municipal bodies on account of the ever-increasing expenditure on establishment which has gone up to about 60 percent of the income. Virtually no money is available for development work. Municipal committees of many small towns find it difficult even to disburse salaries to their employees on time. Many civic bodies have not been able to provide even the basic civic amenities in the areas which have been included in their jurisdiction during the last couple of decades. With the intention of helping the municipal bodies overcome their financial problems, some states have set up agencies which monitor the performance of municipal bodies and guide them regarding distribution of funds and in other financial areas. For instance, Kerala has set up the Kerala Urban Development Finance Corporation and in Gujarat, the Municipal Finance Board has been created. Such steps can be taken up in other states as well.
