The Correct answer is Option 4. 

Key Points

  • The Balwant Rai Mehta Committee (1957) recommended a three-tier Panchayati Raj system, which includes:

    1. Gram Panchayat (Village level)
    2. Panchayat Samiti (Block level)
    3. Zilla Parishad (District level)
  • Nyaya Panchayat is not part of this three-tier system. It is a separate judicial body for settling minor disputes at the village level.

  • Hence Option 4 is Correct.
