Fixed tenure for panchayats protects their term and mandates timely elections or limited interim mandates.
Panchayats possess a fixed five-year tenure from the date of their first meeting; amendments to law shall not cause premature dissolution of a functioning Panchayat. Elections must be completed before the tenure expires or within six months of dissolution, but no election is necessary if the remaining tenure is under six months. A Panchayat formed after dissolution serves only the remaining portion of the original tenure.
