The budget estimates this time are 14.52 per cent more than the 2022-23 amount.
The budget was presented to municipal commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal, who is the state-appointed administrator of the civic body.
"The budget estimates for the financial year 2023-24 are proposed to ₹52,619.07 crore, which exceeds the budget estimates of 2022-23, that is ₹45,949.21 crore, by 14.52 per cent," the budget document states.
