Different Zones in Surat Guide: Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) manages the city through a decentralised administrative system of nine zones.

What Does an SMC Zone Office Handle?
Zonal offices are designed to decentralise civic administration. Their responsibilities can include sanitation, drainage-related complaints, food inspection, licences and permits, birth and death registration, vaccination, property assessment and recovery, and other local civic services.
Residents should generally identify their municipal zone before contacting SMC about a local civic issue, as the responsible department and office can depend on the area.
