== Administration ==
The [[Municipal governance in India#Responsibilities of urban local bodies|major responsibility]] of PMC is to look after the civic and infrastructural needs of the citizens. The administration consists of two major branches: the executive branch headed by the [[Municipal Commissioner (India)|Municipal Commissioner]] and the deliberative branch headed by the [[Mayor of Pune|Mayor]].<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=https://pmc.gov.in/sites/default/files/pmc_administrative_structure.pdf|title=PMC Administrative Structure|website=Official Website of Pune Municipal Corporation}}</ref><ref name=":9">Mukhopadhyay, A., 1999.

=== Executive Branch ===
The executive branch is headed by the [[Municipal Commissioner (India)|Municipal Commissioner]] appointed by the [[Government of Maharashtra|State government]] from the [[Indian Administrative Service]] for a term not exceeding three years according to Section 36 of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, 1949.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=https://pmc.gov.in/sites/default/files/miscellaneous/%2802%29%20The%20Mah.%20Municipal%20Corporation%20Act%20%28H-4062%29.pdf|title=Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, 1949|website=Official Website of the Pune Municipal Corporation}}</ref> Additional Municipal Commissioner(s) assist the Municipal Commissioner in the administration of the departments deputed to them. As of April 2018, there are three Additional Commissioners supervising the general, special and estate administration of the city. Each of these categories consist of several departments.<ref name=":4" /> The Municipal Commissioner also serves on the boards of directors of the two public transport companies, [[Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited|PMPML]] and [[Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited|MahaMetro]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pmpml.org/en/about-us/board-of-directors/|title=PMPML Board of Directors|website=PMPML}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mahametro.org/about.html|title=Maha Metro|website=mahametro.org|language=en|access-date=2018-04-20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://punemirror.indiatimes.com/pune/civic/five-state-representatives-to-join-maha-metro-soon/articleshow/56631528.cms|title=Five state representatives to join Maha-Metro soon - Pune Mirror -|work=Pune Mirror|access-date=2018-04-20}}</ref>

==== Administrative Zones ====
For the convenience of administration, the city is divided into five zones each headed by a Deputy Municipal Commissioner. Each zone consists of three ward offices ([[Marathi language|Marathi]]: क्षेत्रिय कार्यालय, [[International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration|IAST]]: Kṣhetriya Kāryālay) overseen by an Assistant Municipal Commissioner.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pmc.gov.in/en/contact-us#qt-contact_us-ui-tabs2|title=Administrative Zones and ward offices|website=Official Website of the Pune Municipal Corporation}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/civic-administration-revises-ward-limits/articleshow/58485976.cms|title=Civic administration revises ward limits - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-04-20}}</ref> A ward office typically has jurisdiction over more than one election ward. Ward offices not only coordinate major civic projects in their respective areas but also deal with minor works such as maintenance and repair. Residents can avail municipal services at their local ward office eliminating the need to visit the PMC headquarters.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/pune-municipal-corporation-seeks-to-redraw-boundaries-of-all-ward-offices-pmc-4632507/|title=Pune Municipal Corporation seeks to redraw boundaries of all ward offices|date=2017-04-29|work=The Indian Express|access-date=2018-04-19|language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Deliberative Branch ===
The deliberative branch is the elected branch of the PMC headed by the [[Mayor of Pune|Mayor]].<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":9" /> The city is divided into 41 multi-member wards ([[Marathi language|Marathi]]: प्रभाग, [[IAST]]: Prabhāg), 39 of which are represented by four [[councillors|corporators]] each while two are represented by three [[councillors|corporators]] each.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|url=https://pmc.gov.in/sites/default/files/PMC_Gazette_Eng.pdf|title=Ward Organization 2016|date=10 October 2016|website=Official Website of Pune Municipal Corporation}}</ref> Thus, the general body of the PMC consists of 162 corporators. They are elected for a five year term by [[Universal suffrage|adult franchise]] in municipal elections. All major [[Politics of Maharashtra#Political parties & alliances|political parties]] active in the [[Maharashtra|state]] contest the elections.

The corporators elect the Mayor, a ceremonial position with limited duties who acts as an ambassador and representative of the city, as well as a Deputy Mayor. The corporators approve the city budget and act as watchdogs on implementation of policy by the staff under the Municipal Commissioner.<ref name=":9" />

==== Committees ====
The corporators form several committees which deliberate on various issues. At present, PMC has the following subject committees: Law, City Development, Women and Child Welfare, and Sports.<ref name=":4" /> The Standing Committee is the perhaps the most important committee of the PMC formed according to Section 20 of Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, 1949.<ref name=":5" /> It consists of 16 members headed by a President appointed at the first meeting of the newly elected Corporation, half of whom retire every succeeding year. A new President is also appointed every year. The Standing Committee along with 15 ward committees are together responsible for financial approvals.<ref name=":4" />
