Bill tabled to give more clarity on functioning of Greater Bengaluru Authority

The Greater Bengaluru Governance (Amendment) Bill, 2025, was tabled in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday for providing clarity regarding the functioning of the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and the relationship between civic authorities in the Greater Bengaluru Area.

The Bill said that GBA should discharge the role of coordinator among all the city corporations and other agencies in the Greater Bengaluru Area.

The GBA would discharge several functions, including finalisation of its common cadre and recruitment rules, and for the city corporations to submit to the government for approval.

The Bill would empower the GBA to make appointments of Group A (junior level) and Group B officers in accordance with the common cadre and recruitment rules. The GBA would also make rules for the chief commissioner of GBA and for the Group C and D posts.

The government notified five corporations carved out of the existing city civic limits.
