The correct answer is Parliament

Key Points

  • Parliament
    • The Republic of India's highest legislative body is the Indian Parliament.
    • The Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha are the two houses that make up India's bicameral legislature (House of the People).
    • The president has full authority to call a session of either house of Parliament, prorogue it, or dissolve the Lok Sabha in his capacity as head of the legislature.
    • Only on the advice of the prime minister and his Union Council of Ministers can the president utilise these powers.

Additional Information

  • The members of the Rajya Sabha are chosen by the members of all state legislative assemblies via proportional representation, whereas the members of the Lok Sabha are chosen by the Indian population directly through voting in single-member districts.
  • The authorised membership of the Parliament is 543 in the Lok Sabha and 245 in the Rajya Sabha, including 12 candidates with experience in a variety of literary, artistic, scientific, and social service disciplines. In New Delhi's Sansad Bhavan, the Parliament convenes.
