Which of the following houses of Parliament cannot be dissolved under any circumstances?

A. Lok Sabha
B. Rajya Sabha✓ Correct Answer
C. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
D. Neither Lok Sabha nor Rajya Sabha

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 83(1) states that the Rajya Sabha shall not be subject to dissolution, being a permanent body where one-third of its members retire every second year to ensure continuity. Conversely, the Lok Sabha has a normal tenure of five years unless dissolved earlier by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister. State legislative councils share this permanent status with the Rajya Sabha.
