📜 Official Text

(1) Every State shall have a Nagar Panchayat for a transitional (rural-to-urban) area, a Municipal Council for a smaller urban area, and a Municipal Corporation for a larger urban area - though the Governor can exempt an area from having any Municipality at all if it's designated an "industrial township" (typically a company-run township with its own municipal-style services). (2) The Governor decides, by notification, what counts as "transitional", "smaller urban", or "larger urban", based on population, density, revenue, non-agricultural employment, and other factors.
