Lok Sabha

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

The lower house of Parliament, also called the “House of the People,” is central to legislative business. Its members serve five-year terms unless dissolved sooner. Seats are allocated based on population, with reserved constituencies for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Lok Sabha wields significant power: it controls the purse (budget) and can remove the government through a vote of no confidence. Speaker presides over sessions, ensuring decorum and deciding the legislative agenda. Laws originate here or in the Rajya Sabha, but financial bills must start in Lok Sabha. As a direct representation of citizens’ voice, it shapes policy direction critically.
