- The Annual Survey of India’s City-Systems (ASICS) is a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of governance in Indian cities.
- It was published after a gap of five years (the last was in 2017).
- This time it focused on the state as a unit instead of ranking cities as they did in the past.
- Only About 20% of municipal expenditure is covered by property tax, suggesting the need for revenue optimization and efficiency measures.
- 51% of states/union territories lack accessible urban legislation in the public domain.
- 39% of India’s capital cities do not have an active master plan.
- Eastern states have better urban legislation, followed by Southern states.
