The Government of Delhi, officially the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD; ISO: Rāṣṭrīya Rājadhānī Kṣētra Dillī Sarakāra) is the governing body of India's National Capital Territory of Delhi, whose urban area is the seat of the Union Government. It also governs the city or local governments in the area as per the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act.[1][2][3]
Union Territories are governed by the Union Government. There are a few exceptions, such as Delhi and Puducherry which also have their own elected governments with some limitations.[4]
In May 2023, a Supreme Court verdict ruled that the Government of Delhi has power over all administrative services, including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), except police, land and public order, and the Lieutenant Governor shall exercise power under the administrative role.[5]
Just a few days after the Supreme Court's judgement, the Central Government issued an ordinance to establish the 'National Capital Civil Services Authority' in Delhi. This ordinance designates the Delhi Chief Minister as the head of the authority, with the Chief Secretary and Home Secretary of the Delhi government serving as members. The primary role of this authority is to oversee the transfer and posting of Group 'A' officers and DANICS officers currently employed in the Delhi government.[6][7]
