The Ashok Mehta Committee on Panchayati Raj made several recommendations to strengthen local self-governance in India. Option 1, open participation of political parties in Panchayati Raj affairs, is a recommendation of the committee. This means that political parties should be allowed to actively participate in the functioning of Panchayati Raj institutions.

Option 2, the creation of a three-tier system, is NOT a recommendation of the Ashok Mehta Committee. This means that the committee did not propose the establishment of a three-tier system for Panchayati Raj. Instead, it advocated for a two-tier system, consisting of the District Panchayat at the district level and the Mandal Panchayat at the block level.

Option 3, the reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, is a key recommendation of the Ashok Mehta Committee. It emphasized the importance of ensuring representation and participation of marginalized communities in Panchayati Raj institutions through reservation of seats.

Option 4, granting compulsory powers of taxation to Panchayati Raj institutions, is also a recommendation of the committee. It suggested that Panchayati Raj bodies should have the authority to levy and collect taxes to generate their own revenue.
