{'new panchayati raj bill': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'panchayat members': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'panchayats': [1, 0, 2, 12], 'statutory representation': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'such provision': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'several fresh provisions': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'elections': [1, 1, 0, 1], 'regular remuneration': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'accountability': [1, 1, 0, 1], 'rural development': [1, 3, 8, 15], 'responsibilities': [0, 1, 1, 3]}

The provision that is not a deviation from the past in the new Panchayati Raj Bill enacted in 1993 is:

Regular remuneration to the panchayat members, so as to ensure their punctuality and accountability.

The provision of providing regular remuneration to panchayat members to ensure their punctuality and accountability is a new provision in the 1993 Panchayati Raj Bill. Previously, panchayat members were not provided regular remuneration, and their involvement was voluntary or honorary. This provision aimed to incentivize and encourage the active participation of panchayat members by providing them with regular compensation.

The other options mentioned in the question, such as added responsibilities, mandatory elections, and statutory representation for women, are indeed fresh provisions in the 1993 Panchayati Raj Bill, deviating from the past practices and aiming to strengthen grassroots democracy and inclusive governance.
