Question

Consider the following statements:
I. Panchayats at the intermediate level exist in all States.
II. To be eligible to be a Member of a Panchayat at the intermediate level, a person should attain the age of thirty years.
III. The Chief Minister of a State constitutes a commission to review the financial position of Panchayats at the intermediate levels and to make recommendations regarding the distribution of net proceeds of taxes and duties, leviable by the State, between the State and Panchayats at the intermediate level.
Which of the statements given above are not correct?

Accepted Answer

I, II and III

Explanation: All three statements are incorrect. Intermediate-level Panchayats are not mandatory in states with a population below 20 lakh. Minimum age to become a Panchayat member is 21 years, not 30 years. The Governor, not the Chief Minister, constitutes the State Finance Commission. The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 gave constitutional status to Panchayats. It provides for a three-tier Panchayati Raj system, regular elections, reservation, and State Finance Commissions for financial review.
