Explanation

The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, added Part IX to the Constitution, focusing on rural local bodies (Panchayats) [4]. It mandated the establishment of State Finance Commissions under Article 243I to review the financial position of Panchayats [5]. It also provided for State Election Commissions under Article 243K to superintend, direct, and control the preparation of electoral rolls and conduct all elections to the Panchayats [5]. However, the constitution of District Planning Committees (DPC) is a provision under Article 243ZD, which was added by the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, relating to Municipalities (Part IX-A) [2]. While DPCs consolidate plans from both Panchayats and Municipalities, the mandate for their creation originates from the 74th Amendment, not the 73rd [4]. Therefore, only statements 2 and 3 are correct regarding the 73rd Amendment.
