Later, in July 2015, a [[Public interest litigation in India|PIL]] filed in the [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] by an NGO called the [[Centre for Public Interest Litigation]], through [[Prashant Bhushan]], challenged the grant of a pan-India license to Jio by the [[Government of India]].

==Controversies==<br />
<br />
===Issue with incumbents===<br />
In September 2016, the [[Telecom Regulatory Authority of India]] (TRAI) summoned Jio and the country's existing telecom operators like [[Airtel India|Airtel]], [[Vodafone India|Vodafone]], and [[Idea Cellular]] to meet and discuss an issue regarding the interconnection between the operators. This was a result of Jio complaining to TRAI and [[Department of Telecom]] (DoT) about other operators not honoring their commercial agreements to let Jio use their network resources. The company further added that the operators are trying to sabotage its entry into the telecom scene. However, DoT dismissed the request and directed TRAI to help settle the dispute amicably. Moreover, the [[Cellular Operators Association of India]] (COAI) requested TRAI to include all the operators in the discussion instead of the three.<ref>{{Cite news | title=Truce insight? Trai summons Airtel, Vodafone, and Idea to settle a fight with Reliance Jio – The Economic Times | newspaper=The Economic Times | url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/truce-in-sight-trai-summons-airtel-vodafone-and-idea-to-settle-fight-with-reliance-jio/articleshow/54170767.cms | last1=Mankotia | first1=Anandita Singh | access-date=8 September 2016 | archive-date=10 September 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910080254/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/truce-in-sight-trai-summons-airtel-vodafone-and-idea-to-settle-fight-with-reliance-jio/articleshow/54170767.cms | url-status=live }}</ref><br />
<br />
The incumbent operators had previously approached the country's PMO to reiterate their stance that they "''are in no way obliged or in any position to entertain Jio's requests for interconnection points as they do not have either the network or the financial resources to terminate the latter's humongous volumes of potentially asymmetric voice traffic.''" Responding to this, Mukesh Ambani, owner of Jio, said, "''All operators have publicly said last week that they will provide this (interconnect and MNP). So, we are waiting. These are all great companies. They have their own reputations to protect. I am confident they won't violate the law.''" Commenting about number portability, he added, "The number belongs to the consumer. No operator can cause trouble if they want to change operators."<ref>{{Cite news | title=You can't hold off Reliance Jio for long, Mukesh Ambani tells rivals – The Economic Times | newspaper=The Economic Times | url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/you-cant-hold-off-reliance-jio-for-long-mukesh-ambani-tells-rivals/articleshow/54167867.cms | last1=Deva | first1=Pranati | access-date=8 September 2016 | archive-date=10 September 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910014419/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/you-cant-hold-off-reliance-jio-for-long-mukesh-ambani-tells-rivals/articleshow/54167867.cms | url-status=live }}</ref> However, on 12 September 2016, Idea Cellular agreed to allow Jio to use 196 of its interconnection access points.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jain |first=Upasana |date=12 September 2016 |title=Idea agrees to give Reliance Jio interconnection points |url=http://www.livemint.com/Industry/bSfWJaGGyIxgAqf5No38XN/Idea-agrees-to-provide-interconnection-points-to-Reliance-Ji.html |access-date=13 September 2016 |archive-date=13 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160913174037/http://www.livemint.com/Industry/bSfWJaGGyIxgAqf5No38XN/Idea-agrees-to-provide-interconnection-points-to-Reliance-Ji.html |url-status=live }}</ref><br />

In January 2021, several social media posts started circulating linking bird deaths to Jio's 5G network trials. The claims were found to be fake as 5G trials were not yet permitted. The cause of the death of the birds is determined as due to an outbreak of [[Avian influenza|bird flu]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Kundu|first=Chayan|date=13 January 2021|title=Fact Check: Conspiracy theory on bird flu linking bird deaths to Jio 5G trial goes viral|work=India Today|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/fact-check-conspiracy-theory-on-bird-flu-linking-bird-deaths-to-jio-5g-trial-goes-viral-1758796-2021-01-13|url-status=live|access-date=14 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210218024048/https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/fact-check-conspiracy-theory-on-bird-flu-linking-bird-deaths-to-jio-5g-trial-goes-viral-1758796-2021-01-13|archive-date=18 February 2021}}</ref><br />

The company was registered in [[Ambawadi]], Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on 15 February 2007 as Infotel Broadband Services Limited (IBSL). In June 2010, [[Reliance Industries]] (RIL) bought a 95% stake in IBSL for ₹4,800 crore (equivalent to ₹48 billion or US$1.3 billion in 2023) .

Later, in July 2015, a [[Public interest litigation in India|PIL]] filed in the [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] by an NGO called the [[Centre for Public Interest Litigation]], through [[Prashant Bhushan]], challenged the grant of a pan-India license to Jio by the [[Government of India]].

==Controversies==<br />
<br />
===Issue with incumbents===<br />
In September 2016, the [[Telecom Regulatory Authority of India]] (TRAI) summoned Jio and the country's existing telecom operators like [[Airtel India|Airtel]], [[Vodafone India|Vodafone]], and [[Idea Cellular]] to meet and discuss an issue regarding the interconnection between the operators. This was a result of Jio complaining to TRAI and [[Department of Telecom]] (DoT) about other operators not honoring their commercial agreements to let Jio use their network resources. The company further added that the operators are trying to sabotage its entry into the telecom scene. However, DoT dismissed the request and directed TRAI to help settle the dispute amicably. Moreover, the [[Cellular Operators Association of India]] (COAI) requested TRAI to include all the operators in the discussion instead of the three.<ref>{{Cite news | title=Truce insight? Trai summons Airtel, Vodafone, and Idea to settle a fight with Reliance Jio – The Economic Times | newspaper=The Economic Times | url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/truce-in-sight-trai-summons-airtel-vodafone-and-idea-to-settle-fight-with-reliance-jio/articleshow/54170767.cms | last1=Mankotia | first1=Anandita Singh | access-date=8 September 2016 | archive-date=10 September 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910080254/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/truce-in-sight-trai-summons-airtel-vodafone-and-idea-to-settle-fight-with-reliance-jio/articleshow/54170767.cms | url-status=live }}</ref><br />
<br />
The incumbent operators had previously approached the country's PMO to reiterate their stance that they "''are in no way obliged or in any position to entertain Jio's requests for interconnection points as they do not have either the network or the financial resources to terminate the latter's humongous volumes of potentially asymmetric voice traffic.''" Responding to this, Mukesh Ambani, owner of Jio, said, "''All operators have publicly said last week that they will provide this (interconnect and MNP). So, we are waiting. These are all great companies. They have their own reputations to protect. I am confident they won't violate the law.''" Commenting about number portability, he added, "The number belongs to the consumer. No operator can cause trouble if they want to change operators."<ref>{{Cite news | title=You can't hold off Reliance Jio for long, Mukesh Ambani tells rivals – The Economic Times | newspaper=The Economic Times | url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/you-cant-hold-off-reliance-jio-for-long-mukesh-ambani-tells-rivals/articleshow/54167867.cms | last1=Deva | first1=Pranati | access-date=8 September 2016 | archive-date=10 September 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910014419/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/you-cant-hold-off-reliance-jio-for-long-mukesh-ambani-tells-rivals/articleshow/54167867.cms | url-status=live }}</ref> However, on 12 September 2016, Idea Cellular agreed to allow Jio to use 196 of its interconnection access points.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jain |first=Upasana |date=12 September 2016 |title=Idea agrees to give Reliance Jio interconnection points |url=http://www.livemint.com/Industry/bSfWJaGGyIxgAqf5No38XN/Idea-agrees-to-provide-interconnection-points-to-Reliance-Ji.html |access-date=13 September 2016 |archive-date=13 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160913174037/http://www.livemint.com/Industry/bSfWJaGGyIxgAqf5No38XN/Idea-agrees-to-provide-interconnection-points-to-Reliance-Ji.html |url-status=live }}</ref><br />

In January 2021, several social media posts started circulating linking bird deaths to Jio's 5G network trials. The claims were found to be fake as 5G trials were not yet permitted. The cause of the death of the birds is determined as due to an outbreak of [[Avian influenza|bird flu]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Kundu|first=Chayan|date=13 January 2021|title=Fact Check: Conspiracy theory on bird flu linking bird deaths to Jio 5G trial goes viral|work=India Today|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/fact-check-conspiracy-theory-on-bird-flu-linking-bird-deaths-to-jio-5g-trial-goes-viral-1758796-2021-01-13|url-status=live|access-date=14 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210218024048/https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/fact-check-conspiracy-theory-on-bird-flu-linking-bird-deaths-to-jio-5g-trial-goes-viral-1758796-2021-01-13|archive-date=18 February 2021}}</ref><br />

== History ==<br />
The Municipal administration in the erstwhile Bombay existed since 1805. During this period the civic administration was vested in a Court of Petty Sessions. Up to the end of 18th century the administration of Bombay was conducted by the President and Council directly. However, since the Municipal administration had been inefficient, multiple efforts were undertaken by the British administration. The first major change came through in the year 1865 with a Municipal Corporation being established as a Body Corporate and Sir Arthur Crawford was appointed as the first Municipal Commissioner.<ref>{{Cite web |last=admin |date=2020-04-02 |title=BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) |url=https://memumbai.com/brihanmumbai-municipal-corporation-bmc/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=MeMumbai |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Municipal Corporation |url=https://gazetteers.maharashtra.gov.in/cultural.maharashtra.gov.in/english/gazetteer/greater_bombay/local.html |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=gazetteers.maharashtra.gov.in}}</ref><br />
<br />
Thereafter in 1872, after enactment of the Bombay Act No. III of 1872, a regular Corporation was established consisting of 64 elected Corporators who were the rate (tax) payers with the right to vote being restricted to the tax payers only. [[Pherozeshah Mehta|Sir Pherozeshah Mehta]] was instrumental in the drafting of the 1872 Act which led to the establishment of the Corporation as seen today. Sir Pherozeshah served as a Municipal Commissioner in 1873 and served as Chairman in 1884–86, and President in 1905 and 1911.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MyBMC - Welcome to BMC's Website |url=https://www.mcgm.gov.in/irj/portal/anonymous/qllisthistory |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=www.mcgm.gov.in}}</ref> Fondly called as the Father of Municipal Government in Bombay, a large statue of Sir Pherozeshah was erected in 1923 in his memory and respect and adorns the [[Municipal Corporation Building, Mumbai|Municipal Corporation Building]].<br />
<br />
The British Administration the Bombay Municipal Corporation Act, 1888 which streamlined the operations of the Corporation by way of better administration and by providing proper responsibilities to its representatives. The Act, with some amendments continue to be in force till date.<br />
<br />
==Administration==<br />
The BMC is headed by an [[Indian Administrative Service|IAS]] officer who serves as [[Municipal Commissioner of Mumbai|Municipal Commissioner]], wielding executive power. The Municipal Commissioner is one of the authorities under the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. The Municipal Commissioner is head of Executive Wing under section 54 of Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. The Municipal Commissioner is appointed by Government of Maharashtra under section 54 of Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. The Municipal Commissioner is responsible for developing & maintaining civic infrastructure of the city like water supply, roads, storm water, drainage and efficient delivery of various services to the citizens of Mumbai. The Municipal Commissioner deputes various departments to the Additional Municipal Commissioners, Deputy Municipal Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners and various heads of Department in discharge of his functions. The Municipal Commissioner is assisted by Additional Municipal Commissioners, Deputy Municipal Commissioners and Assistant Commissioners.<br />
<br />
As of June 2008, all administrative business in the BMC was conducted in Marathi, a decision that sparked controversy,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-06-25/mumbai/27763034_1_marathi-bmc-jairaj-phatak |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811085748/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-06-25/mumbai/27763034_1_marathi-bmc-jairaj-phatak |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-08-11 |title=From today.

==Legislature==<br />
In order to make the administration of the city convenient, it has been divided into seven zones. Further, these seven zones have 3 to 5 wards each. In total, Mumbai has been divided into 24 administrative wards that are ordered alphabetically from Ward A to Ward T. The 24 administrative wards are further divided into 227 civic electoral wards or constituencies. The smallest of the 24 administrative wards is the B-Ward with only 3 electoral wards while the P North-Ward is the largest with 16 electoral wards.<br />
<br />
Every electoral ward is led by a Corporator. The Corporator is the in-charge of the electoral ward and is responsible towards its development in general.<br />
<br />
As is the case with Legislative Bodies, the Elections for electing the Corporators is held every 5 years. The previous elections were held in [[2026 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation election|2026.]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Find out who is contesting from Ward No. 164 in the BMC elections. |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/interactives/bmc-election-candidates-2017/ward-164 |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=www.hindustantimes.com}}</ref> Harshad Karkar from Shiv-Sena was the youngest candidate at age 23 to win the Elections in 2017.<br />
<br />
The Corporators among themselves are to elect a Mayor who is the First Citizen of Mumbai. Mayors have two distinct roles- the decorative role of representing and upholding the dignity of the city and the functional role of presiding over the deliberations of the Corporation. As the presiding authority at the Corporation Meetings, his/her role is confined to the four corners of the Corporation Hall. The decorative role, however, extends far beyond the city and the country to other parts of world. This is seen whenever a foreign dignitary or a V.V.I.P. visits the city and the State Government invites the Mayor to receive the honoured guest on behalf of the Citizens. Thus, when the Mayor receives or sees the guest off, he does it on behalf of all the citizens of Mumbai. Similarly, when the Mayor accords a civic reception or presents a civic address to a Monarch, or a President or a Prime Minister of any country, he does so in the name of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation and the citizens of Mumbai. In such situations, the Mayor is seen as the First Citizen. Mayor is also given a place of prominence at Civic, Government and other social functions. The term of the office of the Mayor is 2.5 years.<br />

Several officers of BMC have been involved in demanding bribes from the general public and have also been found to be drinking liquor on duty while misbehaving with the complainants and activists who come to get their issues resolved.
