How are seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in every Municipality?
Seats are reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in every Municipality by following the provisions under Article 243T. The number of seats so reserved shall bear, as nearly as may be, 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 in the Municipal area or of the Scheduled Tribes in the Municipal area bears to the total population of that area. The seats may be allotted by rotation to different constituencies in a Municipality. At least one-third of the total number of seats reserved under clause (1) shall be reserved for women belonging to the Scheduled Castes or, as the case may be, the Scheduled Tribes.
