 PARLIAMENT OF INDIA
STUDY NOTES

The Parliament serves as the legislative

organ of the Union government.

It holds a pre-eminent and central

position in the Indian democratic political
system.

This prominence is due to the adoption of

the parliamentary form of government,
also referred to as the 'Westminster'
model.

Articles 79 to 122 within Part V of the Constitution cover the aspects

related to the Parliament.

Three Pillars of Parliament

The President
The Council of States
(Rajya Sabha)
The House of the People
(Lok Sabha)
The Rajya Sabha serves as the Upper House, also known as the
Second Chamber or House of Elders.

The Lok Sabha is regarded as the Lower House, or the First

Chamber, also referred to as the Popular House.

The Rajya Sabha represents the states and union territories of the
Indian Union.

The Lok Sabha represents the people of India as a whole.

The President of India is not a member of either House of the
Parliament (Rajya Sabha or Lok Sabha).

The President does not sit in the Parliament to attend its meetings.

Despite these facts, the President is considered an integral part of

the Parliament.
 Composition of Rajya Sabha:
The maximum strength of the Rajya
Sabha is set at 250 members.
Out of these, 238 members are
representatives of the states and union
territories, elected indirectly.
12 members are nominated by the
President.
As per the information provided, the
Rajya Sabha has 245 members.

Of these, 225 members represent the

states. 8 members represent the union
territories.
The allocation of seats in the Rajya
Sabha to the states and union
territories is covered under the Fourth
Schedule of the Constitution.

Representation of States in Rajya Sabha

The representatives of states in the Rajya Sabha are elected by the
elected members of state legislative assemblies.
The election is conducted according to the system of proportional
representation by means of the single transferable vote.
Seats are allocated to states in the Rajya Sabha based on population.
Representation of Union Territories
The representatives of each union territory in the Rajya Sabha
are indirectly elected by members of an electoral college,
specially constituted for this purpose.
Nominated Members
The President nominates 12 members to the Rajya Sabha from
among people who have special knowledge or practical
experience in areas such as art, literature, science, and social
service.
 Composition of Lok Sabha:
The maximum strength of the Lok
Sabha is set at 550 members.
Out of these, 530 members are
representatives of the states.
20 members are representatives of
the union territories.
Currently, the Lok Sabha has 543
members.

Representation of States in the Lok Sabha

The representatives of states in the Lok
Sabha are directly elected by the people
from territorial constituencies within the
states.
Elections are conducted based on the
principle of Universal Adult Suffrage.

Any Indian citizen who is above 18 years of age and is not disqualified
under the Constitution or any law is eligible to vote in these elections.
The voting age was reduced from 21 to 18 years by the 61st
Constitutional Amendment Act, 1988.

For the purpose of conducting direct elections to the Lok Sabha

Each state is divided into territorial constituencies.
The Constitution stipulates two key provisions regarding this division:
Each state is allotted a number of seats in the Lok Sabha in a manner
that ensures the ratio between the number of seats and its population
is the same across all states.
This aims at equal representation for equal segments of the
population.
The above provision does not apply to states with a population of less
than six million
Rajya Sabha: Nature and Term
The Rajya Sabha first constituted in 1952, is a permanent chamber that
cannot be dissolved.
One-third of its members retire every second year, ensuring continuity
within the body.
The Constitution does not specify the term of Rajya Sabha members
and delegated this decision to the Parliament.
Consequently, the Parliament, through the Representation of the
People Act (1951), set the term of office for a Rajya Sabha member at
six years.
Article 80 of the Constitution lays down the maximum strength of the
Rajya Sabha.

Lok Sabha: Nature and Term

Unlike the Rajya Sabha, the Lok Sabha is not a continuing chamber.
Its normal term is five years from the date of its first meeting after
the general elections.
After the lapse of these five years, the Lok Sabha automatically
dissolves.
As per Article 79 of the Indian Constitution, the Lok Sabha is the
lower House of the parliament.
 Membership of Parliament:
Qualifications
The Constitution provides specific
qualifications for a person to be
chosen as a member of the
Parliament:
Must be a citizen of India.
Must make and subscribe to an oath
or affirmation before the designated
authority.
For the Rajya Sabha, a person must be not less than 30 years of age.
For the Lok Sabha, the minimum age requirement is 25 years.

There are other provisions mentioned in the Representation of People Act,

1950 and 1951.

Oath or Affirmation for Members

of Parliament:
Every member of either House of
Parliament, before taking his/her
seat in the House, must make
and subscribe to an oath or
affirmation.
This oath or affirmation is made
before the President or some
person appointed by him/her for
this purpose.

In the oath or affirmation, a Member of Parliament swears to:

Bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India.
Uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India.
Faithfully discharge the duty upon which he/she is about to enter.
PRESIDING OFFICERS IN THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT

The Lok Sabha has a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker.
Additionally, a panel of chairpersons is appointed for
the Lok Sabha.

Rajya Sabha
The Rajya Sabha has a Chairman and a Deputy Chairman.
A panel of vice-chairpersons is appointed for the Rajya
Sabha.

Parliament Sessions
The President has the authority to summon each House of Parliament
to meet at such time and place as he/she deems appropriate.
However, there must not be a gap of more than six months between
two successive sessions of Parliament.
This implies that the Parliament must convene at least twice a year.
Typically, there are three sessions of Parliament in a year:
The Budget Session: Runs from February to May.
The Monsoon Session: Occurs from July to September.
The Winter Session: Held from November to December.
