Panchayats was added in Part IX of the Constitution through the 73rd Amendment 1992.
It includes provisions from Articles 243 to 243(O) and a new Eleventh Schedule covering 29 subjects within the functions of Panchayats.
The Panchayats have been given a 5-year tenure, and elections must be held before the expiry of this term.
However, under the state legislation, the Panchayat may be dissolved early on specific grounds.
In that case, the elections must be held before the dissolution's six-month deadline.
