Question

With reference to the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act , 1922 , List two salient features of it and what provision did the Act mak​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's your answer:

The two salient features are:

1. The act gives constitutional status to urban local bodies.

2. It provides for direct elections to all the three local self-government bodies.

In order to provide time to allow changes to be made in the then existing  laws which were inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution (74th Amendment) Act, a transition period of one year was provided for. Immediately  after the Constitution (74th Amendment) Act came into force on 1st June, 1993,  the Ministry of Urban Development took necessary steps to ensure that the  provisions of the State Municipal Laws are brought in conformity with the  provisions of the above Act. As a result of various steps taken up by the Ministry  of Urban Development through correspondence and also organizing meetings of  the State level Secretaries, the State Governments brought in place the  conformity legislation by target date i.e.  31st May, 1994. The amended State municipal laws provide for detailed provisions for  constitution and composition of municipalities, reservation of seats for SC/ST and  women, fixed term of 5 years and re-election of municipalities within a period of 6  months in case of dissolution, functions and financial powers of municipalities,  setting up of State Finance Commission etc.
