Which of the following amendment act gave Constitutional status to the municipalities ?
Answer: C
Constitutional status was given to municipalities by the 74th Amendment Act.
The Constitution (Seventy-fourth Amendment) Act, 1992, in force from 1 June 1993, added Part IX-A, 'The Municipalities' (Articles 243-P to 243-ZG), and the Twelfth Schedule listing 18 municipal functions.
Its twin, the 73rd Amendment Act, did the same for panchayats (Part IX and the Eleventh Schedule), which is the usual confusion. The 92nd Amendment (2003) added Bodo, Dogri, Maithili and Santhali to the Eighth Schedule, and the 75th (1993) provided for rent control tribunals.
