Answer 1

Hint :- Municipal incorporation happens because under the rules of the state or province in which they are situated, certain municipalities become self-governing bodies. Sometimes the grant or declaration of a city charter is marked by this occurrence. A civic charter or town charter or municipal charter is a formal document that sets up a municipality, such as a town or city.

Complete step by step answer :-
A city authority in India that administers urban areas with a population of more than one million is a municipal corporation. A local governance body was required for the increasing population and urbanization in different cities of India that could function to provide essential municipal facilities such as health care, educational establishment, accommodation, transport, etc. by collecting capital levy and glued grant from the government. " Municipal corporations are referred to by various names in different states (due to geographical language variations), all of which are converted as 'municipal corporations' in English. The area governed by a municipal corporation is known as a municipal area. Each urban area is divided into wards, defined as territorial constituencies. A municipal corporation consists of a council of wardens. There is one seat for each ward in the Wards Council. On the basis of an adult franchise, members are elected to the Wards Committee for a term of five years. In the state of Tamil Nadu, there are a total of 15 municipal corporations. The local government authorities in those towns in that specific state are City Municipal Corporations.
