In the new Panchayati Raj Bill enacted in 1993, there are several fresh provisions deviating from the past. Which one of the following is not one such provision ?

The 1992–93 Panchayati Raj enactment constitutionally entrenched a three-tier panchayat system and specified functions to be devolved, including many rural subjects listed in the Eleventh Schedule (e.g., agriculture, rural development, primary education, social forestry) [2]. It also instituted reservation provisions — notably not less than one-third of seats for women (including SC/ST women) — and provided for the manner of elections and representation at various levels [3]. These are core fresh provisions of the Act. By contrast, instituting regular remuneration to panchayat members as a constitutional mandate to ensure punctuality and accountability was not one of the principal constitutional provisions newly created by the 1992–93 law.
