Part IX added by the 73rd Amendment provides (i) reservation of not less than one-third seats for women, (ii) State Finance Commissions every five years, and (iii) mandatory elections within six months of a Panchayat’s dissolution (Art. 243-E). It does NOT prescribe disqualification of elected members for having more than two children—a provision adopted only by a few state laws—so statement (c) is the one not proposed.
