Article 243M of the Constitution specifies areas where the provisions of Part IX (Panchayats) do not apply.

The States of Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram are explicitly exempted from the application of Part IX of the Constitution relating to Panchayats.

The exemption is primarily due to the existence of traditional tribal councils and administrative structures in these states. The PESA (Provisions of the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996) extends Part IX with modifications to Scheduled Areas in other states, but Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram are generally outside the purview of the standard Panchayat system introduced by the 73rd Amendment.
