In 1992, the Constitution was amended to make the local government i.e. the third-tier of democracy more powerful and effective. Two differences between the local government before and after the Constitutional amendment in 1992 are:
- Earlier regular local elections were not held. Now it is constitutionally mandatory to hold regular elections to local government bodies.
- The State governments are required to share some powers and revenue with local government bodies. The nature of sharing varies from State to State.
