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

10.1 OPERATIONAL WORKING GROUP

The success of the Town Investment Plan depends on the extent of participation

by the various agencies involved in urban governance and service delivery. As it

is very rightly said “Planning is an exercise ‘For’ the people, ‘Of’ the people and

‘By’ the people.” perception and views of the representatives from the Town

Panchayat and various Para-Statal agencies are of paramount importance.

To bring all the agencies involved in urban governance and service delivery

under one platform for the consultation process, Operational Working Group

(OWG) was formed. The first formal meeting was held in Thudiyalur Town

Panchayat on 24th July 2009 and subsequently Stakeholders meeting was held in

29th October 2009. The stakeholders meeting had a wide representation from

1. Administrative members of the Municipality

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.

11.2.2 O&M PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

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

for the proposed capital works are tabulated below:

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.

Final

Report

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

T

N

U

D

P

III

11-10

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.

� 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

E-governance is the application of information & communication technologies to

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

through access & use of information.

At ULB level, an e-governance shall serve the following three basic requirements in a

user friendly manner

� Information to the office bearers for their effective discharges of their duties, safeguard

the assets of the municipality and for future planning and development of their city.

� Information to councilors to do effective service delivery to their constituents.

� Information to public to pay their duty, update the information on assessment and to get

the right services of the ULB in time.

Best Practices in e-governance:

Five key components of best practices in e-governance system are as below:

� Better service delivery to citizens.

� Improved services for business.

� Transparent & anticorruption.

� Empowerment through information.

� Efficient Government purchasing.

Current Status in Thudiyalur Town Panchayat

The Town Panchayat has initiated steps for computerization of Birth & Death, Salary,

Accounts and Property Tax records

The GoTN has prescribed a list of E-Governance Module to all the municipalities; hence

the Town Panchayat should also start working on E-Governance module. The following

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

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

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.

(If TP succeed in getting the developer)

� Constructing community hall in Subramaniyam palayam and in Raju garden

at an estimated cost of Rs.30 Lakhs

16.1 BACKGROUND- NEED FOR AN FOP

The Financial Operating Plan (FOP) assesses the financial strength of the Town Panchayat to

implement the identified investments. The Financial Operating Plan (FOP) forecasts the

Town’s finances on the basis of certain assumptions on income and expenditure. The primary

objective of the FOP is to ascertain the investment sustenance capacity of the Town Panchayat

under full project scenario of revenue enhancement and expenditure control.

In the FOP following scenarios are envisaged

The financial sustainability Analysis is carried out with the basic assumption that the

Town Panchayat will carry out reforms and projects envisaged under full project

scenario. The Financial Operating plan prepared for Thudiyalur Town Panchayat

evaluates the Town Panchayat’s financial position based on the base care scenario and

the full project scenario which are described below:

Report

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.
