Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is the civic body responsible for local government.
It comprises two branches, the executive branch headed by the Municipal Commissioner, an IAS officer appointed by the Government of Maharashtra, and an elected deliberative branch, the general body, headed by the Mayor of Pune.
Municipal elections are held every five years to elect councillors, commonly known as "corporators", who form the general body.
The current general body of the PMC elected in February 2017 has 162 corporators representing 41 multi-member wards (39 with 4 corporators each and 2 with 3 each).
The general body, in turn, elects the mayor and the deputy mayor.
The mayor has a ceremonial role as the first citizen and ambassador of the city while the actual executive power lies with the municipal commissioner.
For policy deliberations, corporators form several committees.
Perhaps the most important of these is the 16-member Standing Committee, half of whose members retire every year.
The Standing Committee and the 15 ward committees are in charge of financial approvals.
PMC was ranked 8th out of 21 Indian cities for best governance and administrative practices in 2014.
It scored 3.5 out of 10 compared to the national average of 3.3.

The Pune City Police Department is the law enforcement agency for the twin cities of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
It is a division of the Maharashtra Police and is headed by the Police Commissioner, an officer of the Indian Police Service.
The Pune Police Department reports to the State Ministry of Home Affairs.
A separate police commissionerate was announced for Pimpri-Chinchwad in April 2018 to be carved out of Pune Police Department.
The new commissionerate took charge on 15 August 2018.

Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) was formed on 31 March 2015 and is responsible for the integrated development of the PMR.
Currently its jurisdiction extends over 7,256.46 km² (2,802 sq mi) and includes two municipal corporations, three cantonment boards, seven municipal councils, 13 census towns and 842 villages.
