Statutory process of master plan formulation in India was inspired by the erstwhile comprehensive planning system envisaged under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947 of United Kingdom.
As most of the Town Improvement Trust Acts then in force in various states did not contain provisions for preparation of Master Plans, a need was felt to have a Comprehensive Town and Country Planning Act on the lines of U.K.
Accordingly, Central Town and Country Planning Organization or TCPO drafted the Model Town and Regional Planning and Development Law in 1962, which formed the basis for various States to enact Town and Country Planning Acts, with modifications to suit local conditions.
model Law was revised by TCPO in year 1985 as “Model Regional and Town Planning and Development Law” to enact a comprehensive urban and regional planning legislation in all the States and UT’s.
The Constitution (74th Amendment) Act, 1992 : The Urban local bodies Municipal Corporation / Municipal Council / Nagar Panchayat list of functions are mentioned in Twelfth Schedule of the Constitution.
