Proposed improvements City has conducted assessment of Non-Revenue Water through independent means and is at approximately 61%. The following measures are proposed for reduction of non-revenue water (NRW):

Micro-level Household survey with both objective of GIS based Property In-formation System[PIS],

Water Connection on spot through ward-wise camps on outsourcing basis, Providing payment avenues through

- Online payment system for citizens through E-Payment Gateway - Ward-office/ Pragaya Kendra/ Jan Suvidha Kendras as Payment Kiosk for

citizens, - Collection through banks - Appointing outside agencies for collection of the water charges

Under AMRUT, Hazaribagh Municipal Corporation has proposed projects amounting to Rs.245.00 Crs towards improvement of water supply parameters in the city. Urban water supply scheme will be implemented in the year 2017 and will get get completed by 2021. Under AMRUT scheme, HMC has been allocated Rs. 30.00 crs in the year 2015-16 which will be utilized in the year 2016-17 for the water supply but DPR preparation, SLTC and work order has not yet taken place. Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Development Company Limited (JUIDCO) has appointed to prepare the DPR for the project. SEWERAGE & SEPTAGE Hazaribagh Municipal Corporation has total number of households are 25,734. There is no underground sewerage network & hence no collection & no treatment.

At present, there is no systematic and organized method to collect and treat waste from septic tanks. As there is no organized method of collection in many of the cases, the septic tanks overflow either into nearby drains/open fields or disposed in soak pit due to lack of sewerage lines. The septic tank clearance service is provided by HMC on application. Collection of waste from septic tanks is after the request of the consumers through the help of suction pumps vehicles or public have to clean their septic tank on their own. They dispose the sludge in ditches and after that, the ditches are filled up. Coverage of latrines is 74% as against the MoUD benchmark of 100%.

Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Development Company Limited (JUIDCO) will prepare the DPR for the project. Since there is no on-going scheme/ project of sewerage system, city proposes to adopt design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) for setting up the sewerage lines treatment and last mile house connections to meet the objective of universal coverage of sewerage system. STORM WATER DRAINAGE: Total length of the town is 118 km and drains are available only to 33 km in the city. At present, HMC has 33 km of the area with storm water drains against 153.00 km of city length which covers 35 per cent of the Hazaribagh town. At present, there is 33 kms of drain available in Hazaribagh. Both natural and manmade drains exist in Hazaribagh. The grey water from the households are also carried in the same drains as the storm water drainage. Flooding has been caused in some areas due to grey water from households entering the drains as well as solid waste clogging the system. The overall efficiency of the system is likely to improve once the sewerage system is developed and the solid waste management system is improved reducing clogging and overflows in the system .

The Municipal Corpration has provided for interest at 13% p.a. as per the provisions of the Jharkhand Municipal Act, 2011. However these unsecured loans are debts from the Jharkhand State Government and no demand is being raised by the State Government for this interest amount. The amount provided towards interest in the profit and loss statement Is added to the provisions in the Balance sheet and treated as a non-cash expense by the auditors .The auditors have treated the interest and finance charges as a non-cash expense along with depreciation in the cash flow statement. The revenue deficit reduces to 1.29 crs on a cash basis.

Expenditure incurred under O&M is largely towards repairs and maintenance (R&M) of infrastructure assets and civic amenities like roads, buildings, drainage, parks and gardens, community halls, burial grounds, expenditure incurred towards cleaning and watering of roads, maintenance of electrical installation, vehicle maintenance and purchase of fuel. The municipal corporation is responsible for R&M of water pumps; tube wells etc. for restoration of civic services like water supply and choked drains in cases of damage caused during floods and water logging. Administrative expenses comprise primarily of payments of rates and taxes and expenses towards telephone, office, stationery, computers, & other equipment including advertisement. Revenue Surplus/Deficit Hazaribag Municipal Corporation has a revenue deficit from the past three financial year and its deficit is more than the revenue of the Municipal corporation. The revenue expenditure is 212.71 % of the revenue income.


The deficit is mainly due to high Interest and finance charges on loan from state govt. of Rs. 34.28 crs, depreciation charges, Establishment expenses etc. The revenue deficit reduces to 1.29 crs on a cash basis. Key Ratios Analysis: Income Ratio Revenue Receipts mainly includes Tax revenue, Non Tax revenue and Grants. The assigned revenue & Grants contributes to higher percentage of 37.37% to the total revenue. However, remaining is contributed by Tax Revenue (38.28%) and Non-tax revenue (24.35 %). Operating Ratio The revenue expenditure is 212.71 % of the revenue income. The expenditure is high mainly due to high establishment expenditure, interest and finance charges and operations & maintenance. The establishment expenditure, interest and finance charges and operations & maintenance more than the total revenue income. The municipal corporation does not have any secured borrowings. It only has unsecured borrowings from the State Government Net Income profitability is at average level. Conclusion Hazaribagh Municipal Corporation has huge potential for growth and development due to its mineral and forest resources as well being a regional hub for trade and commerce in the area. Further, the tourism potential for the city also has scope of further development. However, the service levels for basic amenities like sewerage and solid waste management needs substantial improvement and investment to improve the quality of life in the city.


The Municipal Corporation also needs to enhance its own revenues to reduce its deficits. The Municipal corporation is utilizing the revenue grants almost completely The City needs to improve its own revenues and also needs some supplementing by way of revenue and capital grants to improve the service lines and overall revenue metrics. Efforts need to be made to increase the tax rates and user charges along with measures for improvement of collection efficiencies to decrease reliance on grants .

taxes due to change in basis of devolution as per 14 Finance Commission’s recommendations , increased grants from Centre and estimated increase in tax revenues.. Expenditure: The states total expenditure increased by 31.59% from Rs 30,429 crs in FY2013-14 to Rs 40,040 crs in FY2014-15 as per the actuals reported in the Budget document for 2016-17. Total Expenditure of Rs.40,040 crs in FY2014-15 includes Revenue Expenditure of Rs 31,794 crs and Capital Expenditure of Rs 8,246 crs. This increase in total expenditure was due to higher expenditure on Education, Medical, Agriculture, Transport sectors and also due to higher repayment of loans. The state has estimated expenditures of Rs 84,693 crs for FY2015-16 (R.E.) and Rs 94,053 crs for FY2016-17 (B.E.).

However, as per revised estimates for FY15-16 and budget estimates for FY16-17 the State expects revenue surpluses of Rs.5357.01 crs and Rs.6994.50 crs respectively. This is primarily due to substantial increase in State share of central taxes from Rs.9487.01 crs as per actuals for FY14-15 to Rs.16498.80 crs as per revised estimates for FY15-16 and increase in GOI grants in aid from Rs.7392.68 crs in FY14-15 actuals to Rs.11000 crs in FY15-16 revised estimates. As most of the states, Jharkhand also reports fiscal deficit due to mismatch between capital receipts and capital expenditure which is made up by external borrowings. For 2014-15 the state’s Capital receipts were Rs 6723 crs against Capital expenditure of Rs 8246 crs resulting in Fiscal deficit of Rs 6720 crs (3.4% of GSDP). The fiscal deficit has exceeded the prescribed limit of 3% of GSDP as per the FRBM Act. Market borrowings remain the major source of financing for the GFD of most states. However as per the latest RBI data, among the non-special category states, Jharkhand has one of the lowest Debt-GSDP percentages at 16.5%.
