The 1996 Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (Bangalore City Corporation) election was held in October 1996 in all 100 Wards of Bangalore
Background
In 1989, the BMP expanded to include 87 wards and further increased to 100 wards in 1995, covering an extra area of 75 sq. km. The council also included 40 additional members drawn from the parliament and the state legislature.[1][2] The tenure of the Bangalore Mahanagara Palike ended in May 1995.[3] A new election was necessary to elect new Corporators and Mayor
Around the same time, the BMP council passed a resolution that only BDA layouts should be included in its limits and not revenue pockets, because of the cost of developing the latter. Around 50 per cent of the expanded BMP areas (meaning at least 40 wards among 100) were revenue pockets at that time. At that time, the BMP proposed betterment charges of Rs.215/sq. yard based on costs of developing those areas. But after the BMP elections of 1996, the council took a decision to reduce betterment charges to Rs.100/sq. yard. The state government (the H. D. Deve Gowda led administration) then issued a notice to the city council demanding why the latter reduced the rates. Subsequently, the state government agreed to the BMP rates.[4]

New Mayor will be elected for a term of one year and Corporators will be in office for 5 years[5]
