• Constitutional Article: Article 243E prescribes the duration and tenure of Panchayats.

• Standard Term: Every Panchayat continues for 5 years from the date appointed for its first meeting, unless dissolved sooner under state law.

• Election Timeline Upon Dissolution: An election to reconstitute a Panchayat must be completed within 6 months of its dissolution.

• Exception: If the remainder of the period for which the dissolved Panchayat would have continued is less than 6 months, it is not mandatory to conduct an election for that interim period.

• Tenure of the Reconstituted Panchayat: A Panchayat constituted upon early dissolution serves only for the remainder of the original 5-year period, not a fresh 5-year term.
