Question

Tenures of the Panches and the Sarpanch.

Answer 1

• The tenure of both the Panches and the Sarpanch in a Gram Panchayat is five years from the date of their election.
• They hold office for this fixed term unless the Panchayat is dissolved earlier.
• If a Sarpanch fails to perform duties properly or loses the confidence of the Panchayat members, a motion of no confidence can be passed to remove them before the end of their tenure.
• Re-elections are held after the completion of the five-year term or earlier if the Panchayat is dissolved.
