The minimum age for contesting elections to the Panchayati Raj Institutions should be how many years according to the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act?

The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 inserted Part IX into the Constitution, providing constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions.
Article 243F specifies the disqualifications for membership of Panchayats, stating that a person shall not be less than 21 years of age to be chosen to fill a seat in a Panchayat.
This is different from the general voting age of 18 years for elections, which is the minimum age for contesting elections to Lok Sabha and State Assemblies (25 years for Lok Sabha).
