=== Amendment ===
The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments were introduced in 1992 and were meant to facilitate greater decentralization at the rural and urban level respectively. They did so through providing legal status to local assemblies and entrusting them with greater functions and powers. The inclusion of certain social categories that had historically been marginalized from policy making and implementing structures was fundamental to the project of decentralization. These social categories were the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women. While the 73rd Amendment applies to the Panchayati Raj system, the 74th Amendment applies to Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats depending on the size of the city. The 74th Amendment states:

"Not less than one – third (including the number of seats reserved for women belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) of the total number of seats to be filled by direct election in every Municipality shall be reserved for women and such seats may be allotted by rotation to different constituencies in a Municipality.

=== Functions ===
The Twelfth Schedule to the Constitution lists the subjects that Meerut Municipal Corporation is responsible for. The Corporation is entrusted to perform functions and implement schemes including those in relation to the matters listed in the Twelfth Schedule.

==Legislative Branch==

[[Mayor]] is elected to serve as the de jure head of the municipal corporation. He is the head of the house (Meerut Town Hall) and belong to the party which is in majority. The office of the Mayor has ceremonial role associated with being the First Citizen of the city.

In every five years an election is held to elect corporators to power. The corporators are responsible for overseeing that their constituencies have the basic civic infrastructure in place, and that there is no lacuna on the part of the authorities. Position of Mayor is currently reserved for woman from Scheduled Caste category. Mrs. Sunita Verma from [[Bahujan Samaj Party|BSP]] is the incumbent Mayor of the city. Her husband Mr. Yogesh Verma is former MLA from Hastinapur.

===Wards===
As of 2017, the Meerut Municipal Corporation's legislature, also known as the Corporation Council, consists of 90 directly elected corporators while additional 10 corporators are nominated by state government. Out of 90 directly elected corporators; 35 seats are unreserved, 17 seats are reserved for women coming from any category, 16 seats are reserved for people belong to Other Backward Class category, 7 seats are reserved for women from Other Backward Class category, 10 seats are reserved for people belong to Scheduled Caste category and 5 seats are reserved for women from Scheduled Caste category.

=== Vande Mataram row ===
Following the crackdown on slaughterhouses and the harassment unleashed by the anti-Romeo squad, the Mayor of Meerut told Municipal Commissioner to act to those who refused to sing Vande Mataram at the beginning of the Nagar Nigam board meeting in the city. Mayor Harikant Ahluwalia allegedly did not let seven corporators take part in a meeting after they refused to participate in the singing of the national song. He has also allegedly declared that anyone who does not comply with this rule will not be allowed to cross the threshold of the board room or join meetings. The decision has, understandably, enraged some members of the council, which has around 80 members, for its undemocratic overtone.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/muslim-councillors-in-meerut-walk-out-during-vande-mataram-membership-terminated/story-c0m8uAVw0X9omZ9642gDWK.html|title = Muslim councillors in Meerut walk out during Vande Mataram, membership terminated|date = 30 March 2017}}</ref>

The situation came to a boiling point when some members, mostly Muslims, were leaving the room before the recital of the national song commenced. They were informed by some BJP members that "Hindustan mein rehna hai to Vande Mataram kehna hoga (If you want to live in India, you have to sing Vande Mataram)." To placate the enraged majority, the mayor was allegedly forced to pass a resolution through voice votes to make the singing of the national song mandatory at the council.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/meerut/meerut-muslim-councillors-allowed-to-enter-hall-after-national-song-sung/articleshow/58115374.cms | title=Meerut Muslim councillors stay out during Vande Mataram, return later | date=11 April 2017 | first=Sandeep | last=Rai | newspaper=The Times of India | accessdate=8 August 2018 }}</ref>
