Re: BNY Mellon Municipal Income, Inc.

Omission of Shareholder Proposal Submitted by Saba Capital Management, L.P., on behalf of Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd., Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

Dear Mr. Stephens:

In a letter dated February 8, 2024, on behalf of BNY Mellon Municipal Income, Inc. (the “Fund”) you requested confirmation from the staff of the Division of Investment Management that it would not recommend enforcement action to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) if a shareholder proposal and supporting statement (the “Proposal”) submitted by Saba Capital Management, L.P., on behalf of Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Proponent”) on December 29, 2023 is excluded from the proxy materials for the Fund’s 2024 annual meeting.[1]  The Proposal provides:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of [the Fund] request that the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) take all necessary steps in its power to declassify the Board so that all directors are elected on an annual basis starting at the next annual meeting of shareholders. Such declassification shall be completed in a manner that does not affect the unexpired terms of the previously elected directors.

The Fund maintains that the Proposal may be excluded pursuant to Rule 14a-8(i)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), because the Proposal contains materially false and misleading statements contrary to Rule 14a-9 under the Exchange Act.

We are unable to concur in your view that the Fund may exclude the Proposal under Rule 14a-8(i)(3).  Accordingly, we cannot assure the Fund that we would not recommend enforcement action if the Fund omits the Proposal or portions of the supporting statement from its proxy materials in reliance on Rule 14a-8(i)(3).

Attached is a description of the informal procedures the Division follows in responding to shareholder proposals. If you have any questions or comments concerning this matter, please email imshareholderproposals@sec.gov.
