with 90% or more participation by way of equity or control, to carry out any function entrusted to a municipality under article 243W of the Constitution.
Earlier, the “Governmental Authority” was defined as under:
“Governmental Authority’’ means a board, or an authority or any other body established with 90% or more participation by way of equity or control by Government and set up by an Act of the Parliament or a State Legislature to carry out any function entrusted to a municipality under article 243W  of the Constitution.
