Which House of the Indian Parliament is permanent and not subject to dissolution?
A. Lok Sabha
B. Rajya Sabha✓ Correct Answer
C. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
D. Neither Lok Sabha nor Rajya Sabha
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Rajya Sabha functions as the permanent Upper House of the Indian Parliament under Article 80, ensuring that it is never dissolved as a whole, with one-third of its members retiring every second year to maintain institutional continuity. In contrast, the Lok Sabha is subject to regular dissolution every five years or earlier upon the advice of the Prime Minister. This structural design enables the Upper House to review legislation thoroughly without disruption from electoral cycles.
