Option 4 : All of the above
Indian Parliament consists of Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and the President of India.
- Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the parliament and is termed as the House of Elders in the Indian Parliament.
- Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and also called a ‘continuing chamber.’ Unlike Lok Sabha which usually runs for 6 years and the fresh elections are taken up, Rajya Sabha has no specific tenure and keeps on running. Therefore, it is never dissolved.
- Every second year, one-third of its members retire.
- For the vacant seats, fresh elections take place.
- However, nominations are taken up at the beginning of the third year.
- Qualification of Rajya Sabha members:
- Must be an Indian Citizen
- Must be not less than 30 years of age
- Must be registered as an elector for a parliamentary constituency.
Thus, we can say that all the statements are true about Rajya Sabha.
