Dear Student,
Indian parliament is the supreme law making body of the country. It comprises of two houses :
Lok Sabha- It the lower house of the Parliament which is a directly elected body .The Indian constitution, has fixed the maximum membership of the Lok Sabha to be 552. However, the 31st amendment has fixed the membership of the Lok Sabha to 545 till 2030. While not more than 525 members can be directly elected to the Lok Sabha from the territorial constituencies in the states, the Union Territories can send maximum 20 members to it.Further, the President of India has power to nominate two members to the Lok Sabha from the Anglo-Indian community if he feels that the community is not adequately represented in the Parliament.
Rajya Sabha- It is Upper house of the Parliament or the Council of States comprising of 250 members out of which 12 members are nominated by the President consist of persons having special knowledge or practical experience in respect of such matters as literature, science, art and social service. The 238 seats are filled indirectly through proportional representation system by a single transferable vote, by the representative from various states and Union Territories.
