(1) Whenever a Grama Panchayat, Municipality or Notified Area Council has been abolished, superseded or dissolved, as the case may be, or where the membership in such Local authority, of a representative elected under section 10 expires by efflux of time or ceases otherwise, the representative elected by such Local authority under the said section shall cease to hold office in the Anchal Sabha. If such a Grama Panchayat, Municipality or Notified Area Council is not formed or reconstituted, within the prescribed time in the area of representation, the Anchal Sabha may, in the prescribed manner, co-opt a Member from the said area, who shall continue to hold office pending such formation or reconstitution. (2) If a Grama Panchayat, Municipality or Notified Area Council is formed newly in an Anchal co-terminus with one or more areas of representation, the Members elected under sub-section (2) of section 10 for such area or areas of representation of the Anchal shall vacate the seat from the date on which the notification of election of a representative from the newly formed Local authority to the Anchal Sabha is published. (3) If a Grama Panchayat, Municipality or Notified Area Council is newly formed in an Anchal and its area instead of being co-terminus with the area or areas of representation overlaps other area or areas so as to include a portion or portions thereof in the newly formed Grama Panchayat, Municipality or Notified Area Council, the Members elected under sub-section (2) of section 10 prior to such overlapping for such area or areas of representation shall cease to hold office from the day of re-election as hereinafter provided. The State Government shall, consequent to such overlapping redistribute the area or areas of representation as new areas of representation under clause (4) of section 8 and Members shall be re-elected for such areas in the manner provided in sub-section (1) of section 10.

(5) If a seat in an Anchal Sabha falls vacant under the provisions of this Act or rules made thereunder, the Anchal Executive Officer shall call upon the area of representation concerned to elect or move the Anchal Sabha to co-opt, as the case may be, a new representative to the Anchal Sabha.
