Answer 2

A municipal corporation is a self-governing entity that operates as a separate legal unit, often with broader powers and responsibilities than a municipal council, which is a smaller governing body within a municipal corporation. Municipal corporations typically have more autonomy and authority in decision-making and service provision compared to municipal councils. Municipal councils are usually responsible for specific areas within the larger municipal corporation, such as making local ordinances and policies.
