A municipal corporation is the legal term for a local governing body, including (but not necessarily limited to) cities, counties, towns, townships, charter townships, villages, and boroughs. The term can also be used to describe municipally owned corporations

A municipality is usually a single urban or administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and state laws to which it is subordinate. It is to be distinguished from the county, which may encompass rural territory or numerous small communities such as towns, villages and hamlets.

Answer:

In India, there are three main types of municipalities. Semi urban areas, that is, areas that are gradually changing from rural to urban, have Nagar Panchayat, Cities with population of less than 10 lakh have Municipal councils. And cities with a larger population have Municipal Corporation.

The municipal corporation consists of members elected by the registered voters of the city. Those who are 21 years of age or above may stand for election. For municipal election the city is divided into small areas called wards.
