It added a new Part IX-A to the Constitution of India, which is specifically entitled 'The Municipalities' [2]. This part contains Articles 243-P to 243-ZG and outlines the framework for three types of municipalities: Nagar Panchayats, Municipal Councils, and Municipal Corporations [t2][t9]. While the Act also mandates the creation of a State Finance Commission to review the financial position of these bodies, the primary subject and title of the added Part IX-A is 'The Municipalities' [c1][c4]. The National Development Council and the Kaveri Water Authority are not mentioned in this amendment. The 74th Amendment also introduced the Twelfth Schedule, listing eighteen functional items for these urban local governments to ensure democratic decentralization at the grassroots level [t1][t5].
