The BBMP annual budget has proposed a few administrative reforms to promote transparency in administration.

In this regard, from the 2023-24 financial year, all incomes, receipts, inter-office transfers and expenses will be covered under the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS).

The IFMS will, hence, enable the BBMP to prepare accounts on a day-to-day basis. “This will bring complete transparency to the BBMP’s accounting system, and the BBMP’s financials for 2023-24 will be released quarterly,” said Jayaram Raipura, BBMP Special Commissioner (Finance).

The budget also proposed to mandate the use of e-office software for file movements in all BBMP offices. “At present, e-office access is available only to BBMP officers. This facility will be made available to all BBMP staff in 2023-24," Raipura said.
