Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Under the Constitution of India, Article 243T specifically provides for the reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in every Municipality [1]. According to this article, seats are reserved for SCs and STs in proportion to their population in the municipal area [2]. Furthermore, not less than one-third of the total number of seats reserved for SCs and STs must be reserved for women belonging to those categories [1][2]. Article 243T also mandates that at least one-third of the total seats in a Municipality (including those reserved for SC/ST women) be reserved for women in general [1][2]. While Article 243R deals with the composition of Municipalities and Article 243S with Wards Committees, Article 243T is the dedicated provision for ensuring representation of marginalized groups in urban local bodies.
