Panchayats are given constitution status by :

  • A.72 Amendment
  • B.73 Amendment
  • C.74 Amendment
  • D.75 Amendment

Answer: B

Panchayats got constitutional status through the 73 Amendment.

The Constitution (Seventy-third Amendment) Act, 1992, which came into force on 24 April 1993, added Part IX and the Eleventh Schedule to the Constitution. It made the three-tier panchayat system mandatory, with regular elections every five years, reservation for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women, and State Finance and Election Commissions.

The 74th Amendment did the same for urban local bodies, the municipalities. The 72nd and 75th Amendments deal with other matters: tribal seats in Tripura's Assembly and rent tribunals respectively.
