Under the Constitution of India, Parliament of the Union consists of which of the following?
Parliament of India consists of the President together with the two Houses, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The President is part of Parliament because every Bill needs Presidential assent to become an Act, so a description with only the two Houses is incomplete.
- AThe President, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya SabhaCorrect
- BThe Prime Minister, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha
- CThe Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha only
- DThe President, the Vice-President and the Lok Sabha
Explanation
Article 79 provides that Parliament consists of the President and two Houses, the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha). The President is an integral part because a Bill needs Presidential assent to become law. Option C is wrong because it omits the President.
