What to Focus On

  • India is a Union of States as per Article 1 of the Constitution
  • Powers are divided among Union List (97 subjects), State List (61 subjects), and Concurrent List (47 subjects)
  • Residuary powers rest with the Centre

  • Parliament = Lok Sabha + Rajya Sabha + President
  • Lok Sabha: 543 members, directly elected, 5-year term
  • Rajya Sabha: 245 members (233 elected + 12 nominated), 6-year term, permanent body

  • Speaker is elected by Lok Sabha members for a 5-year term
  • 14 days' prior notice required before a resolution for removal of Speaker
  • Speaker casts vote only in case of a tie (Casting Vote)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Rajya Sabha has equal power to the Lok Sabha in all matters, including Money Bills and No-Confidence Motions.

The President of India is the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.

The Rajya Sabha can be dissolved just like the Lok Sabha.

Memory Tips

Three constituents of Indian Parliament: Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and President

Lok Sabha maximum strength: 550 (530 States + 20 UTs), current strength 543
