The Indian Parliament is made up of the President of India, the Lok Sabha (Local Government or House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). The President, who leads the legislative branch, has complete authority to convene and adjourn both Houses of Parliament, as well as abolish the Lok Sabha. The President may only use these powers with the approval of the Prime Minister and his Union Council of Ministers. Let’s dig deeper to know about Lok Sabha Seats State Wise.

Indian Lok Sabha Seats

The bottom house of India’s bicameral Parliament, the Lok Sabha, sometimes referred to as the House of the People, is made up of the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha. To represent their individual districts, members of the Lok Sabha are chosen by adult universal suffrage and first-past-the-post voting. They are appointed by the Council of Ministers for a term of five years, or until the President dissolves the body. The Lok Sabha Chambers at the Sansad Bhavan in New Delhi are where the chamber meets. The House’s membership was previously limited to 500 individuals by the Indian Constitution, but that number was eventually raised to 550. In India, there are 543 Lok Sabha seats that can be filled by a maximum of 543 MPs.
