Municipal Administration
Notification
Subject: Grant of Financial Assistance to Economically Weaker Municipal Councils (‘C’ Class) for
strengthening their Administration Scheme, 2026.
The Government of Goa in the interest of ‘C’ Class Municipal Council is pleased to frame the new
scheme for strengthening the Municipal Council administration as follows:
1. Short title and commencement.— This scheme may be called “Grant of financial assistance to
Economically Weaker ‘C’ Class Municipal Councils for Strengthening the Administration Scheme, 2026”.
It shall come into force with immediate effect.
2. Introduction.— (i) While ‘A’ class and ‘B’ class municipalities have relatively stronger revenue
sources and receive higher grants, ‘C’ class municipalities operate with limited financial capacity due to
their small population base and lack of significant revenue streams.

(ii) Due to their limited income, C-class municipalities heavily depend on State Government grants to
meet operational and administrative expenses, including employee salaries. Unlike larger municipalities,
these councils operate with minimal resources.
(iii) Currently, only Dearness Allowance (DA) is provided to the employees. Due to these financial
limitations, employees of these municipalities are not receiving salary on time and also pension after
retirement, despite their service. Delayed salaries and absence of pension benefits leads to financial
insecurity for employees.
(iv) Employees of smaller Municipalities perform similar duties to those in larger councils but lack
financial security. Providing salaries and pensionary benefits will improve staff morale and ensure
livelihood support after retirement.
3. Objectives.— The objective of the scheme is to provide full monthly salary to the employees and
Pension Benefits for retired employees of C-class municipalities in Goa, ensuring financial stability and
parity with employees of A and B-class Municipalities.
4. Validity of the scheme.— The scheme shall be valid for the period of five years and shall be revised
depending upon financial conditions of 'C' class Municipalities.
5. Scope of the scheme.— a. Enhanced social security and dignity of life for retired municipal
employees.
b. Improved employee retention and motivation in C-class municipalities.
c. Bridging disparities among different municipal classes.
6. Eligibility.— Only ‘C’ Class Municipal Councils shall be eligible for financial assistance under this
scheme. In addition to the grants as sanctioned in point (3) of the scheme, after assessing the merits of the
case, Government may sanction additional funds to such weaker ‘C’ Class Municipal Councils to meet the
administrative expenditure on any items in any contingent situation if the Municipal Councils is unable to
process/cater due to lack of funds.
7. Quantum of financial assistance.— The financial assistance shall be released under the scheme
towards salaries and pension to the ‘C’ Class Municipal Council in two installments.
Grants towards payment of salaries shall be released equivalent to actual monthly salaries of the staff
upto the limit of Rs. 50.00 lakhs per annum.
Grants towards payment of pension shall be released equivalent to pensionary benefits of the staff upto
the limit of Rs. 25.00 lakhs per annum.
8. Pattern of Assistance.— (i) Second installment of salary and Pensionary grants shall be released only
upon the submission of utilization certificate of previous installment. If any amount remains unutilized;
same shall be adjusted against second release.
(ii) The grants sanctioned under this scheme shall be utilized within a same financial year. However,
the Director of Urban Development may extend the time limit in deserving cases.
(iii) The grants shall be utilized solely for the purpose of payment of salaries, and retirement benefits to
retired staff of ‘C’ class Municipal Councils in accordance to the prescribed procedure approved by the
Government.
(iv) The Chief Officer shall draw and disburse the grants on receipt of the sanction order from the
Director of Urban Development.
(v) The grants sanctioned under the scheme shall also be subject to such other conditions as laid down
under the General Financial Rules GFR as amended from time to time.
