Q1Which statement best describes the legal identity of the Rajasthan Municipality (Powers, Duties and Functions of Committees) Rules, 2009?

A They are subordinate rules under the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009 dealing with committee powers, duties and functions.
B They are independent by-laws framed separately by each municipality for its own committees.
C They are directions issued only for Ward Committees under section 54.
D They are a financial code limited to sanctioning expenditure from the Municipal Fund.
Explanation

The Rajasthan Municipality (Powers, Duties and Functions of Committees) Rules, 2009 are subordinate rules under the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009. Section 337 supports State Government rule-making on committee powers, duties, functions, meeting procedure and delegation limits, while section 55 supplies the main committee anchor.

Q2Under the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009, which committee is mandatory in every municipality and who acts as its ex-officio Secretary?

A Finance Committee; Chairperson of the municipality
B Executive Committee; Chief Municipal Officer
C Ward Committee; leader of opposition
D Rules and Bye-laws Committee; Vice-Chairperson
Explanation

Section 55 is the main committee anchor, and every municipality must have an Executive Committee. The Chief Municipal Officer acts as its ex-officio Secretary; Finance, Ward and Rules and Bye-laws Committees do not fit this mandatory secretaryship fact.

Q3Match the committee with the municipal matter it can most safely be associated with under the 2009 committee-function rules.

A Buildings Permission and Works Committee - building permission, building control and municipal works
B Buildings Permission and Works Committee - budget, revenue and taxation
C Buildings Permission and Works Committee - sanitation supervision and nuisance control
D Buildings Permission and Works Committee - bye-laws and municipal legal drafting
Explanation

The safe function map under the Rajasthan Municipality (Powers, Duties and Functions of Committees) Rules, 2009 places building permissions, building control and municipal works with the Buildings Permission and Works Committee. Finance, health-sanitation and bye-law work are separate subject domains, so those options shift the matter to the wrong committee.

Q4Which statement correctly describes the link between Section 55 and the municipal committee structure under the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009?

A Section 55 is the main anchor for the Executive Committee and the named subject committees.
B Section 55 only creates Ward Committees for territorial participation.
C Section 55 is the delegation provision for assigning municipal powers to committees.
D Section 55 authorises the State Government to frame committee-function rules.
Explanation

Section 55 is the main Act anchor for the Executive Committee and the named subject committees. Section 54 concerns Ward Committees, Section 61 concerns delegation, and Section 337 supports State Government rule-making on committee powers, procedure and delegation limits.

Q5Which of the following is incorrectly matched about committee formation and membership under the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009 and the committee-function rules?

A Constitution time limit - within ninety days of constitution of the municipality
B Failure to constitute committees in time - State Government may constitute them
C Specially qualified non-members - may be appointed to the Executive Committee
D Specially qualified non-members in eligible committees - not more than one-third of membership
Explanation

Committees must be constituted within ninety days of the municipality's constitution; if this is not done, the State Government may constitute them. Specially qualified non-members may be appointed to Section 55 committees except the Executive Committee, and their number cannot exceed one-third of that committee's membership.
