Amendment to Article 243T of the Constitution to provide for 50

percent reservation for women in Urban Local Bodies

The Constitution (112th Amendment) Bill 2009 to provide for 50% reservation of
women in Urban Local Bodies was introduced in Lok Sabha on 24.11.2009.
Through this Bill the Government of India seeks to increase the representation of
women in Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) from the present level of one-third to 50
percent which would also include enhancement of reservation for women upto 50
percent in seats reserved for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and 50
percent reservations for women in the posts of Chairpersons. This would result in
increased representation of women in ULBs and is likely to yield significant
benefits in terms of higher priority to women’s issues in critical areas of urban
Governance and service delivery such as water supply, sanitation, solid waste
management, education and health, etc. Presently the bill is under the
consideration of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Urban Development.
