Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. six months.
- Every Panchayat, unless sooner dissolved under any law for the time being in force, shall continue for five years from the date appointed for its first meeting and no longer.
An election to constitute a Panchayat shall be completed-
(1) before the expiry of its duration specified in the clause
(2) before the expiration of a period of six months from the date of its dissolution. Provided that where the remainder of the period for which the dissolved Panchayat would have continued is less than six months, it shall not be necessary to hold any election under this clause for constituting the Panchayat for such period.
