Detailed Explanation:
The Panchayati Raj system in India follows a three-tier structure of local self-government as per the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992.
The three tiers are: Gram Panchayat (village level), Panchayat Samiti/Block Panchayat (intermediate/block level), and Zila Parishad (district level).
States with population below 20 lakh may have a two-tier system (excluding the intermediate level), but the standard constitutional framework is three-tier.
