Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust (the Fund) as of and for
the year ended October 31, 2016, in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
we considered the Funds internal control over financial
reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a
basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply
with the requirements of Form NSAR, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal
control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no
such opinion.
Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting.
In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and
related costs of controls.  A companys internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
A companys internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and trustees of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists
when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a
timely basis.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of a funds annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Funds internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in
internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States).  However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Funds internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls over safeguarding securities that
we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of
October 31, 2016.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of Putnam Managed Municipal
Income Trust and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is
not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.

PUTNAM FUNDS
SUBMANAGEMENT CONTRACT
      This SubManagement Contract is dated as of February 27, 2014
between PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the Manager) and PUTNAM INVESTMENTS LIMITED, a
company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the
SubManager).
      WHEREAS, the Manager is the investment manager of each of the
investment companies registered under the United States Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, that are identified on Schedule A
hereto, as it may from time to time be amended by the Manager (the
Funds), and a registered investment adviser under the United States
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;
      WHEREAS, the SubManager is licensed as an investment manager
by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (the FCA);
and
      WHEREAS, the Manager desires to engage the SubManager from
time to time to manage a portion of certain of the Funds:
      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, it is agreed as follows:
1.	SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY SUBMANAGER.
      (a)	The SubManager, at its expense, will furnish continuously
an investment program for that portion of any Fund the management
of which is allocated from time to time by the Manager to the
SubManager (an Allocated Sleeve). The Manager shall, in its sole
discretion, determine which Funds will have an Allocated Sleeve and
the amount of assets allocated from time to time to each such
Allocated Sleeve; provided that, with respect to any Fund, the
Trustees of such Fund must have approved the use of the SubManager
prior to the creation of an Allocated Sleeve for such Fund. The
SubManager will determine what investments shall be purchased,
held, sold or exchanged by any Allocated Sleeve and what portion,
if any, of the assets of the Allocated Sleeve shall be held
uninvested and shall, on behalf of the Fund, make changes in the
Funds investments held in such Allocated Sleeve.
      (b)	The Manager may also, at its discretion, request the
SubManager to provide assistance with purchasing and selling
securities for any Fund, including the placement of orders with
brokerdealers selected in accordance with Section 1(d), even if the
Manager has not established an Allocated Sleeve for such Fund.
      (c)	The SubManager at its expense will furnish all necessary
investment and management facilities, including salaries of
personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.
      (d)	The SubManager shall place all orders for the purchase
and sale of portfolio investments for any Allocated Sleeve with
brokers or dealers selected by the SubManager. In the selection of
such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the
SubManager shall use its best efforts to obtain for the related
Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to
the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions
for brokerage and research services as described below. In using
its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price
and execution available, the SubManager, bearing in mind the Funds
best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it deems
relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the
transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount
of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into
account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and
financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the
quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other
transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Funds
may determine, the SubManager shall not be deemed to have acted
unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or
otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Fund to pay a
broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to
the Manager or the SubManager an amount of commission for effecting
a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction, if the SubManager determines in good
faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to
the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such
broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or its overall responsibilities with respect to the
Fund and to other clients of the Manager or the SubManager as to
which the Manager or the SubManager exercises investment
discretion. The SubManager agrees that in connection with purchases
or sales of portfolio investments for any Fund, neither the
SubManager nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the
SubManager shall act as a principal or receive any commission other
than as provided in Section 3.
      (e)	The SubManager shall not be obligated to pay any expenses
of or for the Manager or any Fund not expressly assumed by the
SubManager pursuant to this Section 1.
      (f)	In the performance of its duties, the SubManager will
comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of
Trust and ByLaws of each applicable Fund and such Funds stated
investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and will use its
best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of such Fund and
to comply with other policies which the Manager or the Trustees may
from time to time determine and shall exercise the same care and
diligence expected of the Manager.
2.	OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.
      It is understood that any of the shareholders, Trustees,
officers and employees of a Fund may be a shareholder, director,
officer or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the
SubManager, and in any person controlled by or under common control
with the SubManager, and that the SubManager and any person
controlled by or under common control with the SubManager may have
an interest in such Fund. It is also understood that the SubManager
and any person controlled by or under common control with the
SubManager have and may have advisory, management, service or other
contracts with other organizations and persons, and may have other
interests and business.
3.	COMPENSATION.
      Except as provided below, the Manager will pay to the
SubManager as compensation for the SubManagers services rendered, a
fee, computed and paid quarterly at the annual rate of 0.35% per
annum of average aggregate net asset value of the assets in equity
and asset allocation Allocated Sleeves and 0.40% per annum of
average aggregate net asset value of the assets in fixed income
Allocated Sleeves, except for fixed income Allocated Sleeves in
certain fixed income Funds enumerated as follows (with the per
annum fee provided in parentheses): Putnam Money Market Liquidity
Fund (0.20%), Putnam Government Money Market Fund (0.20%), Putnam
Short Term Investment Fund (0.20%), Putnam Money Market Fund
(0.25%),  Putnam VT Government Money Market Fund (0.25%), Putnam
Short Duration Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam ShortTerm Municipal
Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam American Government Income Fund
(0.25%), Putnam Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam U.S. Government Income
Trust (0.25%), Putnam VT American Government Income Fund (0.25%),
and Putnam VT Income Fund (0.25%).
      Such average net asset value shall be determined by taking an
average of all of the determinations of such net asset value during
a quarter at the close of business on each business day during such
quarter while this Contract is in effect. Such fee shall be payable
for each quarter within 30 days after the close of such quarter.
The SubManager shall look only to the Manager for payment of its
fees. No Fund shall have any responsibility for paying any fees due
the SubManager.
      With respect to each of Putnam High Income Securities Fund,
Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust and Putnam Premier Income
Trust, the Manager will pay to the SubManager as compensation for
the SubManagers services rendered, a fee, computed and paid
quarterly at the annual rate of 0.40% of Average Weekly Assets in
Allocated Sleeves. Average Weekly Assets means the average of the
weekly determinations of the difference between the total assets of
the Fund (including any assets attributable to leverage for
investment purposes) attributable to an Allocated Sleeve and the
total liabilities of the Fund (excluding liabilities incurred in
connection with leverage for investment purposes) attributable to
such Allocated Sleeve, determined at the close of the last business
day of each week, for each week which ends during the quarter. Such
fee shall be payable for each quarter within 30 days after the
close of such quarter. As used in this Section 3, leverage for
investment purposes means any incurrence of indebtedness the
proceeds of which are to be invested in accordance with the Funds
investment objective. For purposes of calculating Average Weekly
Assets, liabilities associated with any instruments or transactions
used to leverage the Funds portfolio for investment purposes
(whether or not such instruments or transactions are covered within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and
regulations thereunder, giving effect to any interpretations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff) are not
considered liabilities. For purposes of calculating Average Weekly
Assets, the total assets of the Fund will be deemed to include (a)
any proceeds from the sale or transfer of an asset (the Underlying
Asset) of the Fund to a counterparty in a reverse repurchase or
dollar roll transaction and (b) the value of such Underlying Asset
as of the relevant measuring date.
      In the event that the Managers management fee from any of
Putnam High Income Securities Fund, Putnam Master Intermediate
Income Trust or Putnam Premier Income Trust is reduced pursuant to
the investment management contract between such Fund and the
Manager because during any Measurement Period (as defined below)
the amount of interest payments and fees with respect to
indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for
investment leverage purposes, plus additional expenses attributable
to any such leverage for investment purposes, exceeds the portion
of the Funds net income and net shortterm capital gains (but not
longterm capital gains) accruing during such Measurement Period as
a result of the fact that such indebtedness or other obligation was
outstanding during the Measurement Period, the fee payable to  the
SubManager with respect to such Fund shall be reduced in the same
proportion as the fee paid to the Manager with respect to such Fund
is so reduced. Measurement Period shall be any period for which
payments of interest or fees (whether designated as such or
implied) are payable in connection with any indebtedness or other
obligation of the Fund incurred for investment purposes.
      If the SubManager shall serve for less than the whole of a
quarter, the foregoing compensation shall be prorated.
4.	ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS CONTRACT; AMENDMENTS OF THIS
CONTRACT.
      This Contract shall automatically terminate without the
payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment; and this
Contract shall not be amended with respect to any Allocated Sleeve
unless such amendment be approved at a meeting by the vote, cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval, of a majority of the Trustees of the related Fund who are
not interested persons of such Fund or of the Manager.
5.	EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.
      This Contract shall become effective upon its execution, and
shall remain in full force and effect continuously thereafter
(unless terminated automatically as set forth in Section 4) until
terminated as follows:
      (a)	Either party hereto or, with respect to any Allocated
Sleeve, the related Fund may at any time terminate this Contract by
not more than sixty days nor less than thirty days written notice
delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the
other party, or
      (b)	With respect to any Allocated Sleeve, if (i) the Trustees
of the related Fund or the shareholders by the affirmative vote of
a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund, and (ii) a
majority of the Trustees of such Fund who are not interested
persons of such Fund or of the Manager, by vote cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, do not
specifically approve at least annually the continuance of this
Contract, then this Contract shall automatically terminate at the
close of business on the anniversary of its execution, or upon the
expiration of one year from the effective date of the last such
continuance, whichever is later, or
      (c)	With respect to any Allocated Sleeve, automatically upon
termination of the Managers investment management contract with the
related Fund.
      Action by a Fund under (a) above may be taken either (i) by
vote of a majority of its Trustees, or (ii) by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund.
      Termination of this Contract pursuant to this Section 5 will
be without the payment of any penalty.
6.	CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.
      For the purposes of this Contract, the affirmative vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund means the affirmative
vote, at a duly called and held meeting of shareholders of such
Fund, (a) of the holders of 67% or more of the shares of such Fund
present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at such
meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting are present in person
or by proxy, or (b) of the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting,
whichever is less.
      For the purposes of this Contract, the terms affiliated
person, control, interested person and assignment shall have their
respective meanings defined in the United States Investment Company
Act of 1940 and the Rules and Regulations thereunder (the 1940
Act), subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act; the term
specifically approve at least annually shall be construed in a
manner consistent with the 1940 Act, and the Rules and Regulations
thereunder; and the term brokerage and research services shall have
the meaning given in the United States Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the Rules and Regulations thereunder.
7.	NONLIABILITY OF SUBMANAGER.
      In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on the part of the SubManager, or reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties hereunder, the SubManager shall not be
subject to any liability to the Manager, any Fund or to any
shareholder of any Fund, for any act or omission in the course of,
or connected with, rendering services hereunder.
8.	ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.
      (a)	The SubManager represents that it is regulated by the FCA
in the conduct of its investment business. The SubManager has in
operation a written procedure in accordance with FCA rules for the
effective consideration and proper handling of complaints from
customers. Any complaint by the Manager or any Fund should be sent
to the Compliance Officer of the SubManager. The Manager and any
Fund is also entitled to make any complaints about the SubManager
to the Financial Ombudsman Service established by the FCA. The
Manager and any Fund may also request a statement describing its
rights to compensation in the event of the SubManagers inability to
meet its liabilities.
      (b)	The Manager represents that it and each Fund are
Professional Customers in the meaning of the FCAs rules.
      (c)	Although each Fund is not a party hereto and shall have
no responsibility for the Managers or the SubManagers obligations
hereunder, each Fund is named as explicit third party beneficiary
of the parties agreements hereunder.
