Under the Constitution of India: What is the duration of the Council of States?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 83(1) states that the Council of States is not subject to dissolution. Approximately one-third of its members retire every second year according to parliamentary law. It is a continuing House, so none of the proposed fixed durations is its life; six years describes the ordinary term of an individual member, not the duration of the Council itself.
