Which one of the following was NOT proposed by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment in the area of Panchayati Raj?

The correct answer is C because the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992 does not contain any provision regarding the number of children as a criteria for disqualification of elected members. While some state governments like Rajasthan, Haryana, and Odisha have introduced such two-child norms through their own state laws, it was not a part of the original constitutional amendment. Regarding the other options: A is incorrect because the Act mandated a minimum of one-third or 33 percent reservation for women, not exactly 30 percent, but the concept of reservation for women was indeed proposed. B is incorrect because the Act provided for the establishment of a State Finance Commission every five years to review the financial position of Panchayats. D is incorrect because the Act explicitly states that in the event of dissolution, elections must be held within a period of six months.
