The term of a Rajya Sabha member is:
-
A.
4 years
-
B.
5 years
-
C.
6 years
-
D.
7 years
Correct Answer:
C. 6 years
Explanation:
The term of a Rajya Sabha member is six years. Unlike the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha is a permanent legislative body and is not subject to dissolution. To ensure continuity, the tenures are staggered so that approximately one-third of its members retire every two years, at which point elections are held to fill those vacancies. While the Constitution did not originally set a specific term, the Parliament established the six-year duration through the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
