Question

The Lok Sabha is called in session for at least how many times in a year?
A.Twice
B.Once
C.Thrice
D.Four Times

Answer 1

Hint: The Lok Sabha, or House of the People, is the bicameral Parliament of India's lower house, with the Rajya Sabha being the upper house. The members of the Lok Sabha shall be elected to represent their respective constituencies by universal adult suffrage and by a first-past-post method and shall hold their seats for a term of five years or until the President dissolves the body on the advice of the Council of Ministers.

Complete answer: Parliament does not operate during the year, unlike most organisations. The Indian Constitution states that between the last sitting of one session and the first sitting of the next,' six months shall not interfere.' Effectively, this clause guarantees that Parliament meets at least twice a year. Over the years, the Legislative Convention has grown into the Budget (February to May), Monsoon (July to August/September) and Winter (November to December) sessions of three sessions a year.
In the Lok Sabha Chambers of the Sansad Bhavan, New Delhi, the House meets.
The overall strength of the House allocated by India's Constitution is 552. The house currently has 543 seats, which are made up of up to 543 elected representatives and a maximum of 543.

Thus, Option A is correct.

Note: Between 1952 and 2020, the President of India also nominated 2 additional members of the Anglo-Indian community on the advice of the Government of India, which was abolished by the 104th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019, in January 2020. The seating capacity of the Lok Sabha is 550.
