The lifespan of Pangshura smithii, commonly known as the Indian pond turtle, can range from 20 to 40 years in captivity, although wild individuals may have shorter lifespans due to environmental factors. Breeding typically occurs during the monsoon season, which is when the turtles are more active and conditions are favorable for nesting. Females generally lay eggs in sandy or soft soil, usually in late spring to early summer.
