Parliament is the legislative organ of the Union Government. The Parliament of India is divided into three parts- President, Council of States, and House of People. Rajya Sabha (Council of States) is the upper house representing the states and Union Territories of the Indian Union and Lok Sabha (House of People) is the lower house which represents the people of India as a whole.
Differences-
Duration- Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and not subject to dissolution. Lok Sabha is not a continuing house and has a normal term of 5 years.
Age Qualification- The minimum age requirement for being a member in the Upper and Lower House are 30 and 25 years respectively.
Presiding Officer- Lok Sabha has an elected Speaker whereas Rajya Sabha has a Vice-President of India as the ex-officio chairman.
Elections- Members of Lok Sabha are elected through the First Past the Post System and Members of Rajya Sabha through the Proportional Representation System.
Money Bill- It can be introduced only in Lok Sabha.
No-confidence motion- Rajya Sabha can’t remove the Council of Ministers by passing a no-confidence motion.
Hence, an analysis of the above points concludes that except in financial and control over the council of ministers, power and spheres of both houses are broadly coordinated and equal.
