DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)
How did the Fund perform last six months?
For the 6-month period ended March 31, 2025, BNY Mellon Municipal Income, Inc. (the
“fund”) produced a total return of -5.13% on a net-asset-value basis and -0.22% on a market
basis.1 Over the same period, the fund provided aggregate income dividends of $.114 per share,
which reflects a distribution rate of 1.59%.2 In comparison, the Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, posted a total return of -1.44% for the same period.3
1
Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, based
upon net asset value per share or market price per share, as applicable. Past performance is no guarantee of
future results. Market price per share, net asset value per share and investment return fluctuate.
2
Distribution rate per share is based upon dividends per share paid from undistributed
net investment income during the period, divided by the market price per share at the end of the
period, adjusted for any capital gain distributions.
3
Source: Lipper, Inc. — The Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index covers the U.S. dollar-denominated long-term tax-exempt bond market. Unlike a fund, the Index is not subject to fees
and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any Index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Municipal Income, Inc. (the “fund”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), is a diversified closed-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the preservation
of capital. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Insight North America LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the fund’s sub-adviser. The fund’s common stock (“Common Stock”) trades on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol DMF.
The fund has outstanding 1,209 shares of Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
(“VMTP Shares”). The fund is subject to certain restrictions relating to the VMTP Shares. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the fund from declaring any
distributions to shareholders of the fund’s Common Stock (“Common Stockholders”) or repurchasing shares of Common Stock and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption
of VMTP Shares at their liquidation value (i.e., $25,000 per share). Thus, redemptions
of VMTP Shares may be deemed to be outside of the control of the fund.
The VMTP Shares have a mandatory redemption date of July 14, 2053, and are subject
to an initial early redemption date of July 13, 2026, subject to the option of the holders
to retain the VMTP Shares. VMTP Shares that are neither retained by the holder nor successfully remarketed by the early redemption date will be redeemed by the fund.
The holders of VMTP Shares, voting as a separate class, have the right to elect at
least two directors. The holders of VMTP Shares will vote as a separate class on certain other
matters, as required by law. The fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has designated Nathan Leventhal and Benaree Pratt Wiley as directors to be elected by the holders
of VMTP Shares.
Dividends on VMTP Shares are normally declared daily and paid monthly. The Dividend
Rate on the VMTP Shares is, except as otherwise provided, equal to the rate per annum
that results from the sum of (1) the Index Rate plus (2) the Applicable Spread as
determined for the VMTP Shares on the Rate Determination Date immediately preceding
such Subsequent Rate Period plus (3) the Failed Remarketing Spread (all defined terms
as defined in the fund’s articles supplementary).
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.
The
26
fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of
the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate
recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques
used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity
in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results
in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation
inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication
of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level
within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
The Board has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
Investments in municipal securities are valued each business day by an independent
pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market
in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained
27
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by
the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Municipal investments
(which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined
by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields
or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Service
is engaged under the general oversight of the Board. All of the preceding securities
are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are
determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security
has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which
the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value,
the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures
approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments
such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities
are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable
issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value
hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity
and risk are used and such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy.

reporting purposes.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are
recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and
amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized
on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.
(c) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact
specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. The value of a security
may also decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related
to a particular company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions,
changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency
rates, changes to inflation, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment
generally.
The Additional Information section within the annual report dated September 30, 2024 provides more details about the fund’s principal risk factors.
(d) Dividends and distributions to Common Stockholders: Dividends and
29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment
income are normally declared and paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains,
if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a
more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
which may differ from GAAP.
Common Stockholders will have their distributions reinvested in additional shares
of the fund, unless such Common Stockholders elect to receive cash, at the lower of the market
price or net asset value per share (but not less than 95% of the market price). If
market price is equal to or exceeds net asset value, shares will be issued at net asset value.
If net asset value exceeds market price, Computershare Inc., the transfer agent for the fund’s Common Stock, will buy fund shares in the open market and reinvest those shares accordingly.
On March 28, 2025, the Board declared a cash dividend of $.019 per share from undistributed net investment income, payable on April 30, 2025 to Common Stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 14, 2025. The ex-dividend
date was April 14, 2025.
(e) Dividends to holders of VMTP Shares: The Dividend Rate on the VMTP Shares is, except as otherwise provided, equal to the rate per annum that results from the sum
of (1) the Index Rate plus (2) the Applicable Spread as determined for the VMTP Shares
on the Rate Determination Date immediately preceding such Subsequent Rate Period plus
(3) the Failed Remarketing Spread. The Applicable Rate of the VMTP Shares was equal
to the sum of .95% per annum plus the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index rate of 2.87% on March 31, 2025. The dividend rate
as of March 31, 2025 for the VMTP Shares was 3.82% (all terms as defined in the fund’s articles supplementary).
(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the
applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income and
net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income
and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended March 31, 2025, the fund did not have any liabilities
for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any,
related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During
the period ended March 31, 2025, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the three-year period ended September 30, 2024 remains subject to
examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
30
The fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or
long-term capital losses.
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $26,223,695 available for federal
income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized
subsequent to September 30, 2024. The fund has $10,322,932 of short-term capital losses
and $15,900,763 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited
period.
The tax character of distributions paid to Common Stockholders during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2024 were as follows: tax-exempt income $4,068,424. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current
fiscal year.
(g) VMTP Shares: The fund’s VMTP Shares aggregate liquidation preference is shown as a liability since they have a stated mandatory redemption date of July 14, 2053. Dividends
paid on VMTP Shares are treated as interest expense and recorded on the accrual basis.
Costs directly related to the issuance of the VMTP Shares are considered debt issuance
costs which have been deferred and are being amortized into expense over 36 months
from July 12, 2023. See Note 5 - Subsequent Event for additional information.
During the period ended March 31, 2025, total interest expenses and amortized offering
costs with respect to VMTP Shares amounted to $632,019 inclusive of $584,386 of interest expense and $47,633 amortized deferred cost fees. These fees are included
in VMTP Shares interest expense and amortization of offering costs in the Statement of
Operations.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding for the VMTP Shares during the period
ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $30,225,000, with a related weighted average
annualized interest rate of 3.88%.
(h) Operating segment reporting: In this reporting period, the fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. The ASU 2023-07 is effective for public
entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and requires retrospective application
for all prior periods presented within the financial statements.
Since its commencement, the fund operates and is managed as a single reportable segment
deriving returns in the form of dividends, interest and/or gains from the investments
made in pursuit of its single stated investment objective as outlined in the fund’s prospectus. The accounting policies of the fund are consistent with those described in these Notes
to Financial Statements. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is represented by
31
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
BNY Investments, the management of the Adviser, comprising Senior Management and Directors. The CODM considers net increase in net assets resulting from operations
in deciding whether to purchase additional investments or to make distributions to fund shareholders. Detailed financial information for the fund is disclosed within
these financial statements with total assets and liabilities disclosed on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities, investments held on the Statement of Investments, results of operations
and significant segment expenses on the Statement of Operations and other information
about the fund’s performance, including total return, portfolio turnover and ratios within the Financial Highlights.
NOTE 2—Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .70% of the value of the fund’s average weekly net assets (including net assets representing VMTP Shares outstanding) and
is payable monthly. The Agreement provides that if in any full fiscal year the aggregate
expenses of the fund (excluding taxes, interest on borrowings, brokerage fees and
extraordinary expenses) exceed the expense limitation of any state having jurisdiction
over the fund, the fund may deduct from payments to be made to the Adviser, or the Adviser
will bear, the amount of such excess to the extent required by law. During the period
ended March 31, 2025, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the Agreement.
Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of .336% of the
value of the fund’s average weekly net assets (including net assets representing VMTP Shares outstanding).
(b) The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund may receive
earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Custodian
fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes custody net earning credits
as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.
The fund compensates the Custodian, under a custody agreement, for providing custodial
services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region
and transaction activity. During the period ended March 31, 2025, the fund was charged
$2,151 pursuant to the custody agreement. These fees were partially offset by earnings
credits of $1,549.
The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a Redemption and Paying Agent Agreement for providing certain transfer agency and payment services with respect
32
to the VMTP Shares. During the period ended March 31, 2025, the fund was charged
$5,000 for the services provided by the Redemption and Paying Agent (the “Redemption and Payment Agent”).
During the period ended March 31, 2025, the fund was charged $8,981 for services performed by the fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and his staff. These fees are included in Chief Compliance Officer fees in the Statement of Operations.
The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: Management fee of $110,163, Custodian
fees of $1,675, Redemption and Paying Agent fees of $2,500 and Chief Compliance Officer fees of $5,022.
During the period ended March 31, 2025, the fund received $344 related to short-swing
profits pursuant to Section 16(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). This amount is included in interest income in the Statement of Operations.
(c) Each board member of the fund also serves as a board member of other funds in the
BNY Mellon Family of Funds complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 3—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and secured borrowings of inverse floater
securities, during the period ended March 31, 2025, amounted to $11,352,742 and $40,120,868, respectively.
Inverse Floater Securities: The fund participates in secondary inverse floater structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds are transferred to a trust (the “Inverse Floater Trust”). The Inverse Floater Trust typically issues two variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt
municipal bonds. One of these variable rate securities pays interest based on a short-term floating
rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals (“Trust Certificates”). A residual interest tax-exempt security is also created by the Inverse Floater Trust, which is
transferred to the fund, and is paid interest based on the remaining cash flows of the Inverse
Floater Trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the
Inverse Floater Trust. An Inverse Floater Trust may be collapsed without the consent
of the fund due to certain termination events such as bankruptcy, default or other credit
event.
The fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Inverse Floater Trust as secured
borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the fund’s investments, and the Trust Certificates reflected as fund liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The fund may invest in inverse floater securities on either a non-recourse or recourse
basis. These securities are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank
or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity
Provider of par plus accrued interest on any business day prior to a termination event.
When the fund invests in inverse floater securities on a non-recourse basis, the Liquidity
Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility due to a termination
event to the holders of the Trust Certificates. When this occurs, the Liquidity Provider
typically liquidates all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the Inverse
Floater Trust. A liquidation shortfall occurs if the Trust Certificates exceed the proceeds
of the sale of the bonds in the Inverse Floater Trust (“Liquidation Shortfall”). When a fund invests in inverse floater securities on a recourse basis, the fund typically enters into a reimbursement
agreement with the Liquidity Provider where the fund is required to repay the Liquidity
Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a fund investing in
a recourse inverse floater security bears the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation
Shortfall.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the inverse floater structure during
the period ended March 31, 2025, was approximately $53,035,440, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 3.35%.
At March 31, 2025, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on investments was $506,542, consisting of $3,570,191 gross unrealized appreciation and $4,076,733 gross
unrealized depreciation.
At March 31, 2025, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement
of Investments).
NOTE 4—Plan of Reorganization:
At a meeting on March 7, 2025, the Board of the fund, a registered closed-end fund,
approved the reorganization of the fund with and into BNY Mellon AMT-Free Municipal
Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of BNY Mellon Municipal Funds, Inc., a registered open-end fund. The proposed reorganization of the fund is subject to certain
conditions, including approval by the fund’s Common Stockholders at a special meeting of Common Stockholders scheduled to be held on or about June 2, 2025. The fund’s shares of common stock are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “DMF”. If fund Common Stockholders approve the reorganization, the fund’s shares of common stock would stop trading on, and would be delisted from, the NYSE on or about June 18, 2025, and the
reorganization of the fund would occur on or about June 20, 2025. Common Stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 9, 2025 will be entitled
to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting of Common Stockholders.
34
NOTE 5—Subsequent Event:
On April 2, 2025, the fund redeemed all 1,209 issued and outstanding shares of the fund’s VMTP Shares of which the amortization of offering costs was fully amortized. The redemption price of the VMTP shares was the $25,000 liquidation preference per share,
plus an additional amount representing the final accumulated dividend amount owed.
The fund expected to finance the redemption with the proceeds from sales of portfolio
securities.
