STATUS OF OSR

Posted On: 17 MAR 2026 3:10PM by PIB Delhi The Ministry of Panchayati Raj, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A), has developed specialised training modules on the generation of Own Source Revenue (OSR) by the Panchayats. Based on the specialized modules of OSR, a total of 170 State Level Master Trainers (SLMTs) across the 31 State/UT have been trained by the team of IIM-A. These trainers have provided training to 2,39,943 participants at the State and District Level. Further, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has conducted studies to identify challenges in mobilizing Panchayats’ OSR and findings of these reports have been shared with States for implementation. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj has also set up a Committee to draft model rules for Panchayats’ OSR, providing states with a benchmark for framing or revising their OSR rules/regulations. The state-wise number of elected representatives trained under capacity-building programmes in last three years is attached to Annexure . Panchayat-wise details are not maintained. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj has undertaken a significant step to digitise the OSR collection of the Panchayats by developing the &ldquo;SAMARTH Panchayat portal&rdquo;, a dedicated digital platform that facilitates the generation of tax & non-tax demands, maintenance of tax registers, online payment of dues through payment gateway, and online tracking of revenue. This digital empowerment is designed to bring transparency, efficiency, and scalability to local financial administration. Currently, the portal is being adopted across the Nation for capturing different types of tax and non-tax revenue generated at the gram panchayat level. The data regarding Panchayats’ own revenues including their percentage increase is not maintained centrally. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj has developed the Panchayat Advancement Index (PAI) Portal to evaluate the holistic development and performance of Panchayats, using socio-economic indicators under Localization of Sustainable Development Goals (LSDGs) to measure community well-being and progress. PAI scores show the comparative pictures that serve as the principal source of inspiration to low performing States/Union Territories to improve their position.
