Pudukottai is the headquarters of the Pudukkottai district. The city was constituted as a third-grade municipality in 1912, promoted to first-grade during 1963, and selection-grade from 1998. The Pudukottai municipal corporation has 42 wards and there is an elected councillor for each of those wards.[22] The functions of the municipality are devolved into six departments: general administration/personnel, Engineering, Revenue, Public Health, city planning and Information Technology (IT). All these departments are under the control of a Municipal Commissioner who is the executive head.[23] The legislative powers are vested in a body of 42 members, one each from the 42 wards.[24] The legislative body is headed by an elected chairperson assisted by a deputy chairperson. On March 15 2024, the Tamil Nadu Government announced Pudukkottai as a New City Corporation by agglomerating 12 nearby village panchayats. This new city will be administered by a city Mayor.
