In India, the term "Union Territory" is used for the eight territories governed directly by the Union government (also called central government), administered by a Lieutenant Governor or an Administrator: Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Lakshadweep and Puducherry.
Of these, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, and Puducherry possess self-government with their own elected legislatures and Chief Ministers.
The Federal Capital Territory was formed in 1976 from parts of the states of Nasarawa, Niger and Kogi.
It is administered by the Federal Capital Territory Administration, headed by a minister appointed by the President.
Federal District (Argentina) was converted into the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires in 1994.
