What is the normal term of an elected member of the Rajya Sabha?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Six yearsA. छह वर्ष
Explanationव्याख्या
The normal term of an elected Rajya Sabha member is six years.
The Rajya Sabha itself is a permanent House, but its members do not hold their seats permanently.
The system of periodic retirement maintains continuity while allowing new members to enter the House through elections.
This arrangement distinguishes the Rajya Sabha from the Lok Sabha, whose members are generally elected for a five-year term unless the House is dissolved earlier.
The difference between the six-year term of a Rajya Sabha member and the continuing existence of the House is important.
राज्यसभा के निर्वाचित सदस्य का सामान्य कार्यकाल छह वर्ष होता है। राज्यसभा स्वयं स्थायी सदन है, लेकिन उसके सदस्य स्थायी रूप से पद पर नहीं रहते। समय-समय पर सेवानिवृत्ति की व्यवस्था सदन की निरंतरता बनाए रखते हुए नए सदस्यों के निर्वाचन का अवसर देती है। यह व्यवस्था राज्यसभा को लोकसभा से अलग करती है, जिसके सदस्य सामान्यतः पांच वर्ष के लिए निर्वाचित होते हैं, जब तक सदन का पहले विघटन न हो जाए। राज्यसभा सदस्य के छह वर्ष के कार्यकाल और सदन के स्थायी अस्तित्व के बीच अंतर महत्वपूर्ण है।
