The Standing Committee, the crucial body within the MCD holding more influence than the MCD House itself, comprises 18 councillors, six of whom are directly elected from the MCD House, while the remaining twelve are selected from the city's twelve municipal zones.

This structure ensures that each of the zones in the national capital is represented in the Committee, making its decisions comprehensive and inclusive of diverse perspectives.
