Question : How many members of the Rajya Sabha retire from the house every 2 years?
Option 1: 1/6 of the total members
Option 2: 1/3 of the total members
Option 3: 1/12 of the total members
Option 4: 5/6 of the total members
Correct Answer: 1/3 of the total members
Solution : The correct answer is 1/3 of the total members.
The main goal of this retirement rule is to maintain the Rajya Sabha's standing as a permanent house. There will be a sizable number of opposition members in the Rajya Sabha even if a party wins a huge majority in the Lok Sabha elections. At the end of every two years, one-third of the Rajya Sabha's members retire. After their terms are up, the members can run for re-election. A Rajya Sabha member has been in office for six years.
