Is there a specific threshold for the population size beyond which Panchayats at the intermediate level must be constituted? If so, what is that threshold?
Yes, there is a specific threshold for the population size beyond which Panchayats at the intermediate level must be constituted. The threshold is a State having a population not exceeding twenty lakhs. If the population of a State does not exceed twenty lakhs, then Panchayats at the intermediate level may not be constituted in that State.
