The member of Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha is called a Member of Parliament (MP) and the Member of Legislative Assembly of States is shortly called an MLA and the Member of Legislative Council of States is shortly called an MLC. Each state will have certain number of MLA, MLC and MP seats in India. So, it is very important to know the MLA, MLC, Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha seats state wise.
There will be elections for Lok Sabha and the State Legislative Assembly, also called Vidhan Sabha, for every 5 years and there will be elections for Rajya Sabha and the State Legislative Council, also called Vidhan Parishad, for every 2 years as 1/3rd members of these houses retire every 2 years and their tenure is 6 years. There are only 6 Vidhan Parishad states in India namely, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
At present, the strength of Lok Sabha is 543, out of
which 412 seats are meant for general candidates, 84 seats are reserved for the candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and 47 seats are
reserved for the Scheduled Tribes. At present, the Rajya Sabha seats in India is 245. The President of India nominates 12 members to
Rajya Sabha. The Anglo-Indian reserved seats in the Lok
Sabha and the State Legislative Assemblies were abolished by the 104th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019.
The total MLA
seats in India, in different states and Union territories combined together, are 4123. If we consider state wise MLA seats in India, Uttar
Pradesh has the highest Assembly seats in India, numbering 403 and Sikkim has the lowest Assembly seats in India, numbering 32. Union Territory wise,
Jammu & Kashmir has the highest MLA seats, numbering 95 (including 5 nominated by Lieutenant Governor) + 24 (reserved for POK) and Puducherry
