What do you understand by the three tiers system of Indian federation?

Answer:

Three-Tier system means three levels of government. The Indian Constitution originally provided for a two-tier system of government.

(i) The union government or the central government and

(ii) the state government

But, later a third-tier of federalism was added in the form of Panchayats [Rural level] and Municipalities [Urban level]. Every level enjoys separate jurisdiction.
