There are three posts of additional municipal commissioners in the Pune Municipal Corporation.

Usually, the third municipal commissioner is appointed from municipal officers on promotion basis but as there was a lot of competition within municipal officers, state government preferred to appoint another officer as additional municipal commissioner, said officials.
