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 directly 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]
In May 2023, the Supreme Court delivered a landmark verdict affirming that the Government of Delhi holds authority over all administrative services, including the Indian Administrative Service, with the exception of police, land, and public order, while limiting the Lieutenant Governor's role to matters under these specific domains. However, just days after this judgment, the Central Government circumvented the ruling by issuing an ordinance to establish the National Capital Civil Services Authority in Delhi. This ordinance effectively reasserts the Central Government's dominance by designating the Chief Minister of Delhi as the head of the authority, with the Chief Secretary and Home Secretary—both reporting to the Central Government—as members. The authority’s primary function is to control the transfer and posting of Group 'A' officers and DANICS officers in the Delhi government, undermining the Supreme Court's recognition of Delhi's autonomy over its administrative services.[6][7]
