Representatives

Who answers for what

Four offices sit between a Gurugram resident and a repaired road, and they are not interchangeable. Each card states what that seat is empowered to do, what it is barred from doing, and the provision behind every line. Where we could not find a source, the card says so rather than guessing.

Ward Councillor

Researched and cited

Ward Councillor, Municipal Corporation of Gurugram

Applies to Gurugram · answers for one of MCG's 36 wards

What this seat can do

What this seat cannot do

Fund it controls

No discretionary fund. We looked for one and found none — and we are not printing a zero. The Haryana Municipal Corporation Act, 1994 puts every rupee into a single Corporation Fund (s. 72), forbids payment that is not covered by a budget grant (s. 75), and confers its functions on the Corporation rather than on a councillor (ss. 43-44). MCG publishes no per-councillor allocation that we could find. That is a statement about the statute and about what is published, not proof that no executive order anywhere creates such a fund.

How to reach the office

  • MCG ward-wise contactsMCG publishes one named contact per ward. We link to its page rather than copying the addresses: the site carries no licence, and it obfuscates the addresses before display.
  • Gurugram grievance helpline — 1800-180-1817Published by GMDA for its Grievance Redressal Portal, which handles complaints for both GMDA and MCG. Widely quoted as "the MCG helpline"; it is GMDA that publishes it.

What we still do not know

  • Whether any Haryana executive order or MCG budget line creates a per-councillor ward allocation. Nothing we could read says so either way.
  • There is no open ward-boundary dataset for Gurugram, so we cannot answer "which ward is this address in" from geometry. Wards exist here as 36 numbered identities, not as a map.

The statutory position is cited. What is not settled is the councillors' designation: MCG's own ward-contacts page labels all 36 as "Nominated Member", which cannot be right for a corporation that went to the polls in March 2025, so we publish no designation at all.

MLA

Researched and cited

Member of the Legislative Assembly, Haryana Vidhan Sabha

Applies to Haryana · answers for one assembly constituency

What this seat can do

What this seat cannot do

Fund it controls

₹2 crore per year

Vidhayak Adarsh Nagar Avam Gram Yojana (VANGY)

annual fund for one constituency

A yearly amount attached to the constituency under one scheme. The member recommends where it goes; the administration sanctions and spends it. Spent by the Rural Development Department, Haryana; the scheme is 100% state funded.

Rural Development Department, Haryana — note on departmental schemes (Session Note March 2025, updated), scheme 18, VANGY — as of March 2025, read 29 September 2026

How to reach the office

What we still do not know

  • Who issues the administrative sanction for a VANGY work, and against what timetable. The departmental note we read does not say, and we found no VANGY guidelines document.
  • Whether VANGY restricts spending to capital works. Nothing we read says it does, so we do not claim it — the MPLADS restrictions must not be assumed to carry across.

Haryana only. Every other state assembly has its own constituency-fund scheme with its own amount and rules, and we have researched none of them.

MP (Lok Sabha)

Researched and cited

Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha

Applies to all of India · answers for one parliamentary constituency

What this seat can do

What this seat cannot do

Fund it controls

₹5 crore per year

Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS)

one legislator's annual scheme ceiling

The most this member may recommend in a year under one scheme. It is a ceiling on recommendations, not a measure of what was built and not money the member spends. Spent by the District Authority — the District Collector, District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner — which sanctions the works the MP recommends.

Guidelines on Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, paras 1.4 and 2.1 — as of June 2016, read 29 September 2026

How to reach the office

  • Lok Sabha members directory, sansad.inWe link rather than republish. sansad.in carries no open licence and its copyright policy requires permission to reproduce its contents, so no member contact details are mirrored here.

What we still do not know

  • How much of the entitlement was actually recommended, sanctioned, released or spent. mplads.gov.in does not answer from our network and no export has been verified to exist, so we show nothing — not a zero and not a dash.
  • The paragraph numbers cited come from the June 2016 edition of the guidelines. MoSPI revised them with effect from 1 April 2023 and we could not read the revised text; the amounts are restated in 2025 Haryana publications, but locators may have moved.

MPLADS is a central scheme, so this holds in every state. The GMDA seat holds only for constituencies inside GMDA's notified area.

Deputy Commissioner

Researched and cited

Deputy Commissioner, Gurugram

Applies to Gurugram district · answers for the district — an appointed office, not an elected one

What this seat can do

What this seat cannot do

Fund it controls

No fund of its own to quote here. The Deputy Commissioner sanctions and disburses other people's money — MPLADS instalments arrive from the Government of India for the MPs who chose this district as their nodal district, and the total therefore depends on how many MPs did so. We do not know that number and do not estimate it.

How to reach the office

What we still do not know

  • How many MPs have named Gurugram as their nodal district, and therefore how much MPLADS money the office actually handles.
  • Whether Haryana has empowered a District Planning Committee to act as the District Authority instead, which para 2.10 permits. We found no such notification.

The MPLADS role holds in every district in India. The GMDA seat and the encroachment-removal direction are specific to Gurugram. The guidelines use "District Magistrate" and "District Collector" interchangeably with "Deputy Commissioner"; in Haryana the office is the Deputy Commissioner, and reading the three as one office is our reading, which the MPLADS guidelines support but the GMDA Act does not restate.

Who is actually responsible for a pothole, the garbage or a dead streetlight?These four cards describe the elected seats. A civic complaint is almost always decided somewhere else. That section names the office that does the work and the tier that answers for it, per kind of problem, for Gurugram — with the statutory basis, the escalation ladder and every published time limit we could find.Who answers for one particular spot?Give a latitude and longitude and this answers for that point: which seats contain it, and which office executes the kind of problem you are looking at. Where our boundary files cannot place a point precisely enough to name a seat, it says so instead of naming one.Which ward is this, and who is its councillor?All 36 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram, and the councillor the corporation lists for each. The ward is the tier closest to a pothole, a missed bin and a dead streetlight — and the one with the least power over them: a Gurugram councillor controls no discretionary fund and cannot send a crew. Each page says what the seat can and cannot do, and names the office that does the work.What happens to this record when the member changes?Every page in the directory is about a person, and this table holds one row per person with no history — so an election overwrites the row and the trail goes with it. The seat is the part that lasts. There is a page for each of the 543 parliamentary constituencies in our boundary file and each of the 90 Haryana assembly constituencies: what the file says about the seat, which of our rows name it, what the tier can and cannot do, and — plainly — that no archive of past holders exists, because the database has never held a departed member's term.

The money, and what each figure actually is

These figures are not comparable.An agency's whole annual budget and one legislator's yearly scheme ceiling are different kinds of number. Charting them side by side would claim GMDA is worth 607 MPs, so we draw no chart here and name the kind of number beside every figure instead.

₹3,034 croreGMDA annual budget(financial year 2025-26)Press report only

whole agency's annual budget

Everything this body plans to spend in the financial year — salaries, maintenance, capital works, the lot. It is not money any one person decides.

Spent by GMDA, on a budget approved by the Authority, which the Chief Minister of Haryana chairs.

  • Approved at the 14th meeting of the GMDA Authority on 23 April 2025.
₹1,497 croreMCG annual budget (expenditure estimate)(financial year 2025-26)Press report only

whole agency's annual budget

Everything this body plans to spend in the financial year — salaries, maintenance, capital works, the lot. It is not money any one person decides.

Spent by MCG, against budget grants voted by the corporation House.

  • Passed unanimously by the MCG House on 8 April 2025. The same report puts the income estimate at ₹1,571 crore.
₹5 croreMPLADS entitlement per MP(per year)Statute / guidelines

one legislator's annual scheme ceiling

The most this member may recommend in a year under one scheme. It is a ceiling on recommendations, not a measure of what was built and not money the member spends.

Spent by the District Authority — the District Collector, District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner — which sanctions the works the MP recommends.

  • ₹5 crore has been the figure since 2011-12; it was ₹5 lakh at launch in 1993-94, ₹1 crore from 1994-95 and ₹2 crore from 1998-99.
  • Released in two equal instalments of ₹2.5 crore, the second only once the stipulated documents and utilisation conditions are met.
  • A ceiling on what the MP may recommend. It is not a record of what was sanctioned, released or built — we have no such record.
₹2 croreVidhayak Adarsh Nagar Avam Gram Yojana, per assembly constituency(per year)Government publication

annual fund for one constituency

A yearly amount attached to the constituency under one scheme. The member recommends where it goes; the administration sanctions and spends it.

Spent by the Rural Development Department, Haryana; the scheme is 100% state funded.

  • Set by a Haryana Government decision dated 26 December 2018.
  • The MLA may spread it across one or more places in the constituency, but each individual village is capped by population: ₹50 lakh up to 5,000, ₹1 crore for 5,000-10,000, ₹2 crore above 10,000. No population criterion applies in urban areas.
  • Statewide, ₹165 crore was sanctioned and 930 works completed in 2024-25; ₹199.50 crore was approved for 2025-26.
  • This is the nearest Haryana equivalent of an annual MLA local-area fund. Haryana does not publish a scheme called "MLALAD" with a ₹5 crore annual per-MLA entitlement, and we found none.
₹5 croreHaryana special provision per MLA for the assembly term(the tenure of the current assembly — NOT per year)Government publication

one legislator's provision for a whole assembly term — not a yearly figure

A one-off provision covering the whole life of the assembly. Dividing it by five to get a yearly figure would be our arithmetic, not the source's, so we do not do it.

Spent by the Haryana Government, on a prioritised list of works the MLA submits.

  • The Chief Minister's words are "a special provision of Rs 5 crore for each Hon'ble MLA to support development works in their respective constituencies during the tenure of this assembly".
  • Three instalments: ₹1.5 crore, then ₹1.5 crore, then ₹2 crore. The next instalment is released only after 70% of the previous one has been used.
  • This figure is widely repeated as an annual entitlement. It is not one. Anyone quoting ₹5 crore a year for a Haryana MLA is quoting this provision wrongly.

Nothing here records what was actually sanctioned, released or built. MPLADS utilisation is published only at mplads.gov.in, which does not answer from our network, and no export has been verified to exist — so we show nothing for it, not a zero and not a dash.

What we have researched, and what we have not

These badges say whether we have read the law for a SEAT — what that office can and cannot lawfully do. They do not say anything about the records in the directory below, and the two come apart: the Haryana assembly is the one assembly whose powers we have researched and cited, and the directory holds no Haryana MLA at all.

The directory itself is a few hundred rows, and it is not a roll of India's representatives under any definition. Most of it is filed under the Lok Sabha — more rows than that house has seats, because several seats carry a defeated member beside the person who beat them. Seven rows are Rajya Sabha. The assembly rows number barely a dozen and are almost all chief ministers, sitting and former. Everything we know to be wrong with it is listed, with what has and has not been fixed. This is the honest boundary.

  • Ward councillor (MCG)

    Gurugram

    Researched and cited

    Statutory position cited from the Haryana Municipal Corporation Act, 1994. 36 wards, numbered 1-36, confirmed from MCG's own ward-contacts page. No ward boundaries: no open dataset exists, so wards are identities here, not a map. No councillor designation published — MCG's page labels all 36 "Nominated Member", which cannot be right after the March 2025 poll.

  • MLA (Vidhan Sabha)

    Haryana

    Researched and cited

    VANGY at ₹2 crore per constituency per year, and the ₹5 crore per-assembly-term provision from the 2025-26 budget speech, both cited. Assembly boundary data for Haryana exists under CC BY 2.5 India but is pre-2014 vintage and positionally shifted, so we do not yet tell a resident which MLA answers for their street.

  • MP (Lok Sabha)

    All of India

    Researched and cited

    MPLADS entitlement, sanction norm and prohibited-works rules cited from the scheme guidelines. No utilisation or spend figures: the source is unreachable from our network. No member contact details: sansad.in has no open licence.

  • MP (Rajya Sabha)

    All of India

    Partly researched

    MPLADS position cited, including that works go anywhere in the state of election rather than a constituency. Whether a Rajya Sabha member sits on the GMDA Authority is open.

  • Deputy Commissioner

    Gurugram district

    Researched and cited

    District Authority role, the 75-day sanction norm and the limits on sanctioning all cited. We do not know how many MPs use Gurugram as their nodal district, so we quote no total the office handles.

  • All tiers

    Every other city and state

    Not researched

    Nothing here has been checked outside Haryana except the central MPLADS rules. Municipal statutes, constituency-fund schemes and development-authority laws differ by state, and we have read none of the others. If you are looking at a member from another state, assume only the MPLADS claims carry over.

Why there is no ranking, no score and no comparison hereNo star ratings on a person, no responsiveness league, no computed overall grade, no page that puts members in an order. Each refusal has a precedent — a reply-rate league that turned out to measure how deprived a constituency was rather than how a member behaved, and report cards their own publisher retracted years later. That page names them, publishes the fairness rules in advance, states what we do not know and what it would take to know it, and sets out what gets held back during an election period.
