Explanation:

The provisions of the 73rd Amendment Act can be grouped into two categories -compulsory and voluntary. The compulsory provisions of the Act have to be included in the State laws creating the new Panchayati Raj System.

Voluntary provisions of the Act :

1. Giving voting rights to members of the Union and the State Legislatures in these bodies;
2. Providing reservation for the backward classes.
3. Giving the Panchayats financial autonomy and thereunder the power to levy taxes, fees, etc.
4. Devolution of powers to the Panchayat bodies to perform functions as provided in the XIth Schedule to the Constitution.
