Parliament consists of the President and two Houses: the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha).

Max Strength: 250 (238 representing States/UTs + 12 nominated by the President).
Nature: A permanent body not subject to dissolution. 1/3rd of its members retire every second year.
Age Limit: Minimum 30 years.
