Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts, passed in 1992, are the landmark legislations that provided constitutional status to local self-government institutions in India.

  • 73rd Amendment Act (1992): Introduced Part IX to the Constitution and the 11th Schedule, dealing with Panchayati Raj Institutions (Rural Local Government).
  • 74th Amendment Act (1992): Introduced Part IXA and the 12th Schedule, dealing with Municipalities (Urban Local Government).

These amendments mandated the creation of a three-tier structure (in most states), regular elections every five years, reservation of seats for SCs, STs, and women (at least one-third), and the establishment of State Finance Commissions to review the financial position of these local bodies.
