Explanation
The term of the Lower House of the Indian Parliament, also known as the Lok Sabha, is 5 years.
The Lok Sabha is the directly elected representative body of the Parliament of India, consisting of members elected by the people through a process of universal adult suffrage. The Lok Sabha is the lower house of the Parliament, while the Upper House is the Rajya Sabha.
As per Article 83(2) of the Constitution of India, the term of the Lok Sabha is five years from the date of its first sitting, unless it is dissolved earlier. However, the President of India may extend the term of the Lok Sabha during a national emergency or a proclamation of emergency under Article 352 of the Constitution.
It is important to note that the term of the Lok Sabha may be shorter than five years if it is dissolved earlier by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister. In such a case, a new Lok Sabha election is held within six months of the dissolution.
