Is there a specific process for allocating reserved seats to different constituencies in a Municipality?
Yes, there is a specific process for allocating reserved seats to different constituencies in a Municipality. The seats shall be reserved for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in every Municipality, with the number of seats so reserved bearing the same proportion to the total number of seats to be filled by direct election in that Municipality as the population of the Scheduled Castes or the Scheduled Tribes in the Municipal area bears to the total population of that area. These seats may be allotted by rotation to different constituencies in a Municipality. Additionally, not less than one-third of the total number of seats reserved under this clause shall be reserved for women belonging to the Scheduled Castes or, as the case may be, the Scheduled Tribes.
