The list of functions of municipalities given in the twelfth schedule of the Constitution does not include :
Answer: D
The Twelfth Schedule does not include land management including registration.
The Twelfth Schedule, added by the 74th Amendment (1992), lists eighteen functions that may be devolved to municipalities. They include urban planning, regulation of land use and construction of buildings, planning for economic and social development, roads and bridges, water supply, public health and sanitation, fire services, urban forestry, slum improvement, urban poverty alleviation and the promotion of cultural, educational and aesthetic aspects, among others.
So three options are in the schedule. Land management in the sense of land records and registration of documents is a state revenue and registration function and is not in the list; the nearest entry is regulation of land use, which is a different matter.
