7777 FISCAL STATUS
7.1 BACKGROUND
Tamil Nadu is the first State to have introduced a classification in the status of
local bodies as ‘Town Panchayat’, which was planned as a transitional body
between Rural and Urban Local Bodies. The Town Panchayats were conferred
with individual administrative powers and unique functional characters have
been in existence for over a century. The Town Panchayats adopt well devised
accounting and auditing procedures and the service delivery to the public has
been better. Town Panchayats are under the administrative control Municipal
Administration and Water Supply Department, at Government level.
Till 1981, the Town Panchayats were under the administrative control of
Directorate of Rural Development. During 1981, the Government vide G.O. Ms.
828 Dated 7.5.1981, constituted a separate Directorate for the Town Panchayats
with the nomenclature of ‘Directorate of Town Panchayats’. However the
administrative control of the Directorate of Town Panchayats continued to be
with the Rural Development Department at the Secretariat as they were
governed under the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act 1958.
Following the introduction of 73rd and 74th amendments to the Constitution of
India in the year 1993, all the Town Panchayats were reconstituted under the
Tamil Nadu District Municipalities Act, 1920 and treated as transitional area. i.e.
an area in transition from rural area to an Urban area. Necessary amendments
were brought on to the Tamil Nadu District Municipalities Act, 1920 for this
purpose and a separate chapter in respect of Town Panchayats was inserted in the
said Act. Consequently though the nomenclature ‘Town Panchayat’ remained
unchanged, the administrative control of the Directorate of Town Panchayats was

10.2 PRIORITY BASED ON OWG OPINION
SURVEY
Projects identified both by the Town Panchayat and by the consultants cannot be
taken at one step for implementation due to constraints like finance, institutional
capabilities etc. Thus, phasing of the projects based on stake holder’s priority
could be a viable option for implementing projects. During stakeholders
meeting, they have been asked to prioritize the sectors pertaining to Physical
infrastructure, Social Infrastructure and Environment through a survey called
City Opinion survey and is presented in a scale of 0-1001 scores.
10.2.1 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITY
Based on the opinion survey conducted during stakeholders meeting,
Stakeholders have given priority to the sectors related to Physical infrastructure
on the following order:
1. Drinking Water Supply
2. Under Ground Drainage
3. Road Network
4. Street lighting
5. Solid Waste Disposal
6. Storm Water Drainage
7. Parking facilities
1 Sector is highly prioritized by the Stakeholders if it gets 100 score and least prioritized if it
gets 0 score.

11111111 ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN
Asset Management Plan involves maintenance management for preventive and
predictive maintenance, equipment recording and tracking, replacement parts
inventory, and maintenance labor scheduling. The goal of asset management is
to optimize asset use and manage all maintenance efforts involved in making
assets as reliable, accurate, and efficient as possible. Asset management Plan is
the plan developed for one or more physical assets within the Town Panchayat
that combines multi disciplinary management techniques including technical and
financial over the life cycle of the asset to a specified level of service in a most
cost effective manner.
The key aspects of asset management plan therefore involve asset inventory,
information of assets owned by the Town Panchayat and appropriate strategy to
manage the assets and increase the productivity of the same. The asset
management plan is therefore critical for maintaining, upgrading and operating
physical assets in a cost effective manner.
Thudiyalur Town Panchayat has several assets that require regular maintenance
for sustenance of reasonable service delivery levels. Given the high impact of
the O&M expenses on the finances of the Town Panchayat, it is prudent to
undertake a proper review of the assets under its control. This would aid in
identifying the revenue generating assets as well as the ones that are causing a
drain on municipal revenues. A comprehensive asset management plan aids in
achieving the same.

11.1 LIST OF ASSETS:
The assets of Thudiyalur Town Panchayat can be classified as assets relating to
basic physical infrastructure such as water supply, roads, storm water drains,
street lights, light and heavy vehicles etc and those relating to social
infrastructure which include community halls, maternity centers, burial grounds
etc. Among basic physical infrastructure only water supply services can be
considered revenue generating as the Town Panchayat is able to collect taxes,
connection charges, initial deposit charges and metering/tap rate charges and
hence expenses are met mainly through dedicated water supply fund set up for
the purpose. With regard to social infrastructure, Thudiyalur has revenue
generating assets like Markets, shopping complex, bus stand, taxi stand,
slaughter house, cycle stand/taxi stand, pay & use toilets, etc currently with the
panchayat and others such as burial grounds, community hall, slaughter house,
parks, public toilets, maternity centre etc; are not revenue generating or revenue
generation is extremely nominal and may not be self sustaining. The panchayat
earns a substantial income of Rs.29.60 Lakhs (2007-08) from the remunerative
social assets .Some of the social infrastructure is required to be provided by the
Town Panchayat as the functions remain obligatory functions of the Town
Panchayat and also help to fund the non remunerative activities of the Town
Panchayat. These are also required to maintain the cleanliness and sanitation of
the city.

Operation and Maintenance of the assets related to Physical and socio-economic
infrastructure is divided under two heads;
• To maintain the existing assets for the next five years and
• To maintain the assets proposed to be created under various capital works
proposed.
Since the O & M of the existing assets related to Socio- Economic Infrastructure has
already been assessed in the above sections of this chapter, the O & M of the existing
physical Infrastructure assets and the proposed O & M for the capital works identified is
broadly discussed in this section. Past growth trends in O&M expenses relating to
existing physical infrastructure and O&M rates as a percentage of capital cost assumed

11.3 AMP - RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are some of the suggestions with regard to formulation and
implementation of a comprehensive asset management plan:-
11.3.1 ASSET REGISTER
A comprehensive Asset register needs to be maintained containing details of the list of
assets, year and cost of acquisition, particulars such as the location, size of the
area/building, ownership records and all supporting documents required for the same.
These details are required for assessing the condition of the asset. The reforms
programme under TNUDP has initiated the process of computerizing and digitalizing
the asset inventory for all municipalities in Tamil Nadu. Computerization of asset
register is required with focus on proper designing, testing, installing a database
management system for municipal assets. Data thus compiled would need to be
classified on the basis of sector specific infrastructure facilities, land and properties etc
11.3.2 ASSET VALUE AND LIFE CYCLE
MANAGEMENT
The Town Panchayat needs to determine the value of various assets in regular intervals.
As all assets have a limited life expectancy, concerted efforts need to be undertaken by
the Town Panchayat on regular basis before investing further in a new asset or up
gradation of the existing assets. In case of an asset (service) that is handed over to a
private contractor for O&M, periodic review and inspection needs to be made to prevent
misuse and damage to the assets.

11.3.3 SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable management of assets is an important element of asset management plan.
Sustainable development has been defined as “meeting the needs of present generation
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. A
long term financial plan to provide necessary resources to operate, rehabilitate and
ultimately replace the asset at the optimal time to achieve lowest life cycle cost is
required. Preventive and operational maintenance at regular intervals can prevent higher
cost associated with the full replacement of the asset. Such a plan would ensure that the
current users pay a fair share for the service they receive so the future users do not have
the burden to pay a higher cost for the same level of the service. Sustainable
management calls for a contribution from the users to meet partially or fully the O&M
cost associated with the utilization of assets. Hence user charges and fees is critical for a
sustainable and a successful asset management programme
11.3.4 INTEGRATION OF TECHNICAL AND
FINANCIAL PLANS
An integrated plan combining technical aspects (to minimize life cycle cost & reduce
the risk level) and financial aspects (Financial plan) are required to quantify the level of
service and the cost associated with the same. The technical and financial plans need to
be flexible enough to suit the changing requirements of the public.
11.3.5 CONDITION ASSESSMENT SURVEY (CAS)
The Town Panchayat could look to undertake CAS for various assets owned by the
ULB, which could bring to light the deficiencies in a system or a component, the extent
of defects, estimated cost of repairs and the prioritizing the work to be undertaken. This

TNUIFSL

N
U
D
P
III

Final
Report
systematic review could enhance the life of the asset and minimize huge capital outlay
on account of delay in taking remedial actions.
11.3.6 RISK ASSESSMENT
Asset management needs to take into account various risk factors such as financials,
environmental, regulatory, legal, public health and safety.
11.3.7 MONITORING AND EVALUATION
To optimize an asset management plan, performance of the assets and rehabilitation
strategies should be monitored regularly, and adjustments made at the appropriate stage
in the asset life cycle to achieve an acceptable balance between cost and the
performance (Level of service). It is also imperative to monitor and take damage control
measures when the Town Panchayat takes up any development works to prevent
damage to the other assets of the Town Panchayat. Prioritizing the works to be
undertaken can prevent unnecessary maintenance and capital cost.
11.3.8 BUDGETING
A regular budgeting exercise regarding the possible O&M cost for various assets needs
to be undertaken by the Town Panchayat. There should be a clear link to the financials
plans and the budgeting exercise undertaken by the Town Panchayat. An Asset
Management Plan should incorporate expenses relating to maintenance, renewal and
augmentation of the asset of the Town Panchayat.
11.3.9 TRAINING IN DATABASE MANAGEMENT
All the above requires proper training to the concerned staff. Training would involve
various issues such as methods of simplified updation of data, methods of monitoring
and follow up and training in issues relating to infrastructure facilities management,
land use, litigation, encroachment etc

15151515 REFORMS AND RESOURCE
MOBILIZATION
15.1 OVERVIEW
Urban reforms are the main focus of good governance and service delivery to the
inhabitants of the urban area. Several initiatives and reforms have been taken up at the
national level and state level. These reforms need to be replicated and implemented by
the ULBs completely in a time bound manner. The State Government and the Urban
Local Bodies have executed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Government of
India, committing to implement the reform programme.
Under the Urban Local Bodies level, reforms committed viz., E-Governance, shift to
Accrual based double entry accounting, property tax (85% coverage), property tax
collection efficiency (90%). 100% cost recovery for water supply and solid waste
services have been committed to be achieved in the year 2012. Internal earmarking of
funds for services to Urban Poor has been done and provision of Basic services to urban
poor has been committed to be achieved in the year 2012.
Encouragement of Public Private Partnership to be carried on through outsourcing in
solid waste management, street light maintenance, pumping station maintenance, STP
maintenance and hiring of vehicles. Many of the suggested reforms have been
implemented to some extent though at the ULB level further refinement and qualitative
implementation needs to be carried out. Besides these mandatory reforms the ULBs have
initiated Institutional Strengthening, Capacity building for administrative and elected
representatives under various reform programs of TNUDP and State Government.

15.2 REFORM MEASURES FOR THUDIYALUR
TOWN PANCHAYAT
The reform measures to be undertaken by the Town Panchayat can be broadly classified
into 3 broad heads:
� Financial and Accounting Reforms
� Institutional reforms
� Reforms in physical infrastructure
15.2.1 FINANCIAL & ACCOUNTING REFORMS
15.2.1.1 FINANCIAL REFORMS
As a part of financial reforms, tax mobilization reforms in tax and non tax collection
needs to be taken up for improving the financial position of the Town Panchayat. The
reform process of tax collection should be comprehensive and should focus on structural
and systematic changes so that the increase in efficiency is sustained. This is vital for
achieving self-sufficiency and improving its financial health to make it possible for the
TP to undertake various projects for the welfare of the people.
The Executive officer and the bill collectors are responsible for collection of various
taxes and charges from its citizens including raising the demand for key revenue items
like property tax, profession tax, water charges etc., follow up on outstanding payment
and prepare the Demand Collection Balance (DCB) statement. There are Two Bill
Collectors in the revenue collection department and all the posts are filled up.

15.2.1.1.1 Property taxes:
The most important category in the own sources of income is the property tax. This tax is
imposed on land and buildings depending upon their class of areas & nature of use.
About 80% of the tax revenue comes through property taxes. The CAGR of number of
Property tax assessment has been around 12.73% (2003-04 till 2007-08) which is very
promising and thus has lead to increased contribution of this revenue to the total income
of the Town Panchayat. The CAGR of property tax revenue collection has been around
17.95% over the last few years. (2003-04 till 2007-08). The Town Panchayat enjoys very
good current collection efficiency and the arrear collection efficiency needs to be looked
into for improving its realization of old dues.
15.2.1.1.2 Profession Tax:
Profession tax has contributed about 20% of the total Taxes in the last few years. The
CAGR has been close to 14.05% for the past few years. The Town Panchayat enjoys a
very good current and arrear collection efficiency
Robust growth in Taxes is required to fund the projects. Proper implementation of
reforms is a pre-requisite for healthy revenue generation. Healthy growth in number of
assessments, updated tax demand, periodic revisions and high collection efficiency is
important for strong growth in property tax collection
Hence the following reforms have been suggested to bring about improvement in
property tax collection
Table 15-C: Reforms in property Taxes
Suggested Property taxes Reforms
• Mandatory Implementation of Revision of Property Tax once in every five years
is required
• Digitization of the property maps through GIS to identify un-assessed and under
assessed properties is required. GIS based mapping system is advisable for each
property identified on GIS (Whether it is residential, commercial or
industrial).The above database can be crossed checked with the data from various
governmental authorities/sources such as Income Tax, Profession Tax, and

Electricity Bills etc. Such database also would help the Town Panchayat to verify
the utility of the property against the purpose for which permission was taken.
• Computerization of records of encroached properties, action taken, list of
encroachers through MIS would enable linking the same with GIS.
• Making the payment of property tax more convenient for the assesses through the
use of various alternative modes can be explored through a decentralized
approach such as :
1. Through banks
2. Through Post Offices, Bus terminus, Kiosks etc.
3. Through online payment through using internet.
4. Through ECS/ EFT
• Using special schemes and incentives to encourage people to make the payment
of property tax before the lapse of the due date can be considered. Rebates can be
offered for advance payment of property taxes.
• The Town Panchayat can do more initiatives to increase the number of self
assessed tax payers by creating well awareness among the people themselves
about the social responsibility of paying tax in time
• Collection of arrears through innovative means such as community participation
and fast track litigation methods need to be attempted. Law enforcement powers
should be given to the Town Panchayat to compel payment of taxes and other
charges levied by them.
• Improve enforcement against defaulters by modifying byelaws with adequate
recourse to Town Panchayat within the current framework for enforcing
disconnections on defaulters.
• PSP involvement in computerization, billing, collections and survey of properties
can be explored.
• Rewarding collection efforts of the employees to encourage more aggressive
collection.
• List of consistent major defaulters can be published in the notice board of the
Town Panchayat office. This can be resorted in the case of extreme default.
• Suitable legislation at state level to ensure that in the case of disputed property

tax the assessee should first pay the tax under protest and then can take the
necessary legal recourse as done in customs/excise duties can be considered.
• Currently the payment of property taxes is possible only in the Town Panchayat
office. The ULB can look to the possibility of introducing additional collection
centers to enable the citizens to pay the taxes easily
• Late payment of property tax after the grace period can be penalized with
nominal charges as being done in the case of insurance payments etc
15.2.1.2 ACCOUNTING REFORMS
The administrative section is responsible for maintenance of all income and expenditure
statements, payment, preparation and implementation of budget. The system of accounting has
undergone a transformation from cash based accounting system to accrual accounting system
in line with the State government’s reforms initiative. Presently they do not have fully
computerized accounts department. As on date Thudiyalur Town Panchayat has completed
finalizing its accounts up to FY 2007-08.
The following reform measures are suggested:
Table 15-D: Accounting Reforms
Suggested Accounting Reforms
� Zero based budgeting would need to be carried out for continual monitoring of budgets and
cash flow management.
� As a part of a larger accounting reform process at the State level, it is suggested that the ULB
can include disclosures in its Annual Accounts and other published documents details on cost
recovery of essential services through direct “user charges”, indirect “taxes” and
Environmental status report. This information can be made available to the public through
various channels (Such as hosted the details on the website, distribution of pamphlets,
Involving SHGs/NGOs/Woman Groups for spreading awareness, Public announcements etc)
in simple effective language to facilitate substantial/full recovery of O&M costs of the
various essential services such as Water Supply, Solid Waste Management, etc. The
awareness creation at various levels will increase the “willingness to pay” actions of the
citizens of the area.

Suggested Accounting Reforms
� The audited annual accounts can contain ULB Discussion and Analysis Report (UDAR)
providing a holistic view on the financial health, quality of service level rendered, initiatives
taken/proposed by the ULB to improve the city, areas of concern, targets and action plan to
achieve the same etc. This report along with the Urban Performance indicators can provide a
qualitative edge to the accounting and financial reporting system that can go a long way
towards achieving high levels transparency, accountability and easy and smoother facilitation
of the reform process required. Thus the support from the stake holders of the city would
become easier if the awareness is created with these qualitative reports being prepared and
shared with the key stake holders of the city.
15.2.2 INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS
The Institutional reforms suggested for Thudiyalur Town Panchayat can be broadly divided
into the following heads:
� Training and Capacity Building for administrative staff and elected officials
� Private Sector Participation
� User charges
� E-Governance
15.2.2.1 TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
STAFF AND ELECTED OFFICIALS
• Training
The training undergone by the staff of Thudiyalur Town Panchayat has been stated as under:
Bhavani Sagar Training was provided to two Junior Assistants.
• Public Grievance Redressal Mechanism
Public Grievance registers maintained for all key sectors such as Public Health, Water
Supply, and Street Lights. The Public also approach their respective ward councilors with
their complaints on service delivery system.
It is recommended that the periodicity of the training can be enhanced coupled with more
qualitative in-depth focus on the type of training offered. This would result in increased
awareness among the administrative staff on various issues there by enhancing their

productivity and creating awareness about their responsibility towards the public. For
both elected and administrative members educational and awareness tours can be
organized to understand the best practices in various services of other ULBs.
As the ULB is already maintaining a public grievance register for all key sectors, it
should now depute one person as the in charge for this grievance book and the
complaints needs to be redressed within 24 hours.
15.2.2.2 PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION
Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN) has laid down a policy clearance order for the ULBs in
the State, indicating the areas of privatization in the sectors of Solid Waste Management,
Water Supply, Sewerage, Drain Cleaning, Public Toilets, Road Maintenance, Street Lighting,
Parking lots, parks and play grounds, and vehicle maintenance. The GoTN states that this list
is indicative and local bodies are free to investigate other areas of privatization. The local
body would be saving the indirect cost towards pension, gratuity, etc if privatization efforts
are initiated and effective monitoring and evaluation on the delivery of services of private
contractor is adopted.
• Public Private Partnership including Privatization initiatives taken by
the Town Panchayat as stated below.

� Providing household segregation bins once in five years for source
segregation and D-D collection.
� Procuring protective gear (gumboots, gloves and masks) for
conservancy workers once in two years
� The ULB can also seek private sponsorship for purchase of household bins for
waste segregation once awareness is created among the public on the waste
segregation
15.2.2.3 USER CHARGES
There is a need to introduce in phases “User Charges” for various infrastructure amenities
provided by the Town Panchayat. Cross subsidization of tariff, Innovative product
structuring and community participation are some of the measures which could be
explored to provide services for the urban poor.
Currently only for water supply the ULB is able to generate direct revenue in the form of
water charges, initial deposit and connection charges and indirectly through water tax
which is a component of property tax. For other services the ULB depends on its taxes
and external funds to fund its activities. As these are inadequate the ULB faces
constraints to initiate any major improvement scheme for development of the city.
To enhance its revenue the ULB would need to increase the deposit charges for new
connections and can explore the option of increasing the water charges. This backed by

higher collection efficiency and enhanced service coverage of water connections can
minimize revenue leakages from water sources.
15.2.2.4 E-GOVERNANCE & COMPUTERIZATION

transform the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of informational
& transactional exchanges with in government, between govt. & govt. agencies of
National, State, Municipal & Local levels, citizen & businesses, and to empower citizens

Sectors Suggested Reforms
Water Supply
� Service coverage of water connections to be increased from
current 84% to 85% by 2013-14
� Water supply charges and connection charges need to be revised
on periodic basis i.e. once in 5 years to fund its future investments
in water supply.
� Monthly service charges for the consumers can be increased
minimum of 25% every 5 years.
� For funding its investments in water supply, the Town Panchayat
can consider alternative payment structures for water. It could
offer one-time payment options, where the connection fee is
bundled with usage fees for a number of years. The packages
could be made attractive by offering suitable levels of discounts.
This could result in reduction in collection risk and reduced cost
of billing and collections. The same could be used for other
services, where the collection requires the effort of the municipal
staff.

� To improve the collection levels, the Town Panchayat could look
at providing an incentive and penalty structure for payment of
water taxes and charges.
� For reducing operating and maintenance costs, water leakage
audit, installation of leak detection equipment and replacement of
pipes needs to be done on regular basis.
� Prior to the year 1987-88, there existed a water supply leak
detection system for minimizing the cost of water supply. It can
be now redefined and updated to serve as a record maintained for
Unaccounted for Water (UFW). UFW is the difference between
the volume of water delivered into the distribution system and the
water sold/billed or accounted for by legitimate consumption.
There is need for maintaining such a record for reducing the
possibilities of revenue leak through unauthorized/illegal
connections.
� It may be mentioned that the percentage of non-revenue water is
ascertained based on the condition assessment of the water supply
system. It is necessary to carry out a detailed study to estimate the
non-revenue losses to enhance the efficiency of the water supply
system. In addition, the Town Panchayat has to under take a
series of initiatives to arrest illegal water connections and
enhance the coverage of House Service Connections (HSC).
� Pumps, motors and distribution network which undergo severe
wear and tear impact power costs of the Town Panchayat besides
reducing operational efficiency. Hence periodic maintenance of
the system with regular investments in up gradation and
replacement of pipelines, motors and pumps needs to be followed
to avoid huge one time expenditure to the maximum extent
possible.
� Privatization in routine maintenance relating to water supply
such as hand pumps can be considered

� Water quality monitoring system on daily basis.
� Chlorinators at each pumping station.
� Increased collection of revenue on water charges at ULB level
by using GIS based billing system on 24*7 systems.
Solid Waste
Management
� Door to door collection of garbage at household level and
segregation of waste at source need to be implemented after
creating suitable awareness level. In case of Thudiyalur 100 % of
assessments covered by Door to Door collection and 100% of
assessments involved in waste segregation
� Private sponsorship of bins for waste segregation at house hold
level can be looked into
� Vehicles used in SWM and conservancy activities such as tipper
lorries, tractors; dumper blazer etc can be maintained through
outsourcing arrangement with reputed contractors. The Annual
Maintenance Contract should be all comprehensive covering
various critical clauses in order to protect the Town Panchayat
from possible claims from the Ways to improve the revenue from
charges that are being collected from different commercial
establishments like hotels including kiosks, eating houses,
restaurants, star hotels and retail markets should be studied.

15.3 ADDITIONAL RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
Thudiyalur has been initiated both the traditional and non-traditional alternatives for
resource mobilization. Resource Mobilization efforts need to be directed towards
generating additional revenue from existing avenues such as property taxes, profession
tax, water charges, service charges and fees and remunerative assets of the Town
Panchayat. Besides this the Town Panchayat would need to take measures to control
expenditure in water supply, sewerage systems, solid waste management, street lighting
etc.
Additional resource mobilization options such as Daily market fees, Weekly market fees,
Bus stand fees, Fess from Pay & Use toilets, rent from commercial complex and rent
from shopping mall and community hall for the Town Panchayat are discussed in detail
in subsequent paragraphs.
Incase of Thudiyalur the share Non-Tax revenue to the total revenue has been more than
70% in the last few years. The Non-Tax Revenue has grown at a CAGR of around 3% in
the last 6 years ending .The town panchayat can take more positive initiatives to increase
its growth in coming years. The “Other income” under the Non-tax revenue consists
mainly of Income from Weekly market and Rent from shopping complex accounting for
only about 17% of this income. This income has grown at a CAGR of over 8.46 % in the
last few years.

16.2.1 BASE CASE SCENARIO
In the base case scenario, the finances of the Town are forecast for next 15 years without
taking into consideration any new projects envisaged in Capital Investment Plan. .
Current practices with regard to tariff revision of key services are only considered.
Additional resources mobilized through various initiatives such as resource mobilization
through enhanced revision of property tax rates and the number of assessments (based on
projected population increase), increased revenue realization through faster growth in
service charges and fees including revision of user charges and connection charges for
water supply, other income etc are loaded to the FOP in the base case scenario. Routine
revenue expenses including Operations and Maintenance of existing assets have also
been considered and loaded to the FOP. Revenue surplus thus generated indicates
Town’s capacity to service the usual capital expenditure in the normal course of running
its operations.
16.2.2 FULL PROJECT SCENARIO BASED ON
PRUDENT FUNDING NORMS
Full Project scenario for Thudiyalur has been worked out based on estimated demand
supply analysis of various physical and social infrastructure requirements of the Town
and feedback of Operating Working Group’s (OWG’S) consultation on the Town’s needs
for the next 15 years. The financial mix for funding these projects has been based on
prudent financial norms of funding and existing practices of funding currently being
followed today. The projects identified are vital for meeting the basic requirements of the
Town as per the infrastructure standards. Furthermore all the projects identified fall under
the obligatory functions under the 12th Schedule. In the event of the Town not
undertaking the project, the key problems would be poor infrastructure resulting in poor
service delivery and loss of potential revenue from new revenue streams. To overcome
these issues the framework for FOP is developed taking into account existing strengths of
the Town and also reducing the inefficiencies in the system.
Phasing of the identified projects is done based on the possible year of construction,
demand supply gap analysis and investment priority of the OWG. Implications of the

investments worked out in terms of external borrowing required & the resulting debt
servicing commitments, external support in form of grants and additional operation and
maintenance expenditure anticipated due to the new projects identified have been worked
out for the next 15 years. Debt servicing capabilities, gaps in required investments from
Town for the said projects vs the actual availability with the Town Panchayat for the
Town’s contribution for the said projects has been worked out to estimate the extent of
Town’s capability to meet its contribution for financing the new projects identified under
Capital Investment Plan.
The implications on the investment and borrowing capability of the Town for all the
identified projects is worked out taking into consideration of all suggested reforms.
The objective of working out with all the reforms mainly to highlight the importance of
implementing the reforms on improving the financial capability of the Town for
successful implementation of the projects envisaged in CIP.
16.3 ASSUMPTIONS FOR FOP
This FOP is based on a whole range of assumptions related to income and expenditure.
These are critical to understand the financial projections worked out, sustenance of the
projected increase in revenue and expenditure under various scenarios and surplus thus
generated. Assumptions regarding interest rates, repayment terms and conditions,
financing pattern have also been explained in subsequent paragraphs. Assumptions
regarding additional Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the new projects identified
have also been provided. The assumptions would help in understanding the extent of
investment sustenance for future projects envisaged.
16.3.1 REVENUE INCOME
In case of taxes and non tax revenue such as property taxes, water charges, sewerage
charges and solid waste management charges where the base and basis of revenue is
fairly well known and predictable the likely revenue is forecast based on certain

16.4 OUTCOME OF FINANCIAL OPERATING PLAN
16.4.1 BASE CASE SCENARIO (“BUSINESS AS USUAL
SCENARIO”)
In the Base Case Scenario, the finances of TOWN are forecast for the next 15 years without
taking into consideration any new projects envisaged in Capital Investment Plan (CIP). The
past trends in growth rates in revenue income and expenditure are assumed to continue over
the next 15 years. No new revenue sources such as user charges for service delivery systems
of the Town are envisaged under this scenario. Revenue surplus thus generated indicates
Town’s capacity to service the usual capital expenditure in the normal course of running its
operations. Table 16 G indicates the revenue surplus position of the Town over the 15 year
period.
The following are the outcome under this scenario:-
� The projected cumulative revenue surplus (Closing Balance) of the TOWN shows a
healthy surplus position over the 15 year period with a revenue surplus touching
Rs.7356.42 Lakhs in the year 2023-24 after meeting its current debt obligations.
