Where there is a block system both in urban and rural areas, upabhukti means block.

Where there is a block system in rural areas but not in urban areas, upabhukti means (1) block in rural areas; (2) municipal jurisdiction in urban areas. Where a municipal jurisdiction is very big and includes more than one police station, upabhukti means the jurisdiction of one police station.

Where there is no block system either in urban or rural areas, upabhukti means an area having a population of one hundred thousand.

The sadvipras of an upabhukti will elect one upabhukti pramukha from among themselves. The upabhukti pramukha may or may not be an ácárya/á or a táttvika, but must be an educated family person. They will hold this post for a period of three years, after which a fresh election will be held.

The elected upabhukti pramukha will form an Upabhukti Committee with members chosen from among the sadvipras of different parts of the upabhukti. The upabhukti pramukha will decide how many members will constitute the Upabhukti Committee.

The role played by the ISMUB Department in the case of bhukti pradhánas will be played by the Social Security Department in the case of upabhukti pramukhas.

The upabhukti pramukha will open as many schools as possible to increase the degree of literacy in the concerned upabhukti, and will develop and maintain a high standard of morality in the upabhukti.

They will endeavour to increase the purchasing power of the local population with the help of Proutists and other sadvipras, and will open as many universal stores as possible to meet the requirements of the local population.

They will endeavour to increase the farm production and industrial production of the upabhukti, and will start the requisite number of medical units and charity homes in the upabhukti in cooperation with the concerned AMPS sections.

The upabhukti pramukha may be included in the Bhukti Executive Committee of their bhukti, but must not hold any portfolio on the Committee.
