Lok Sabha is composed of
representatives of the people chosen by direct election on the basis of the
adult suffrage. The maximum strength of the House envisaged by the
Constitution is 552,
which is made up by election of upto 530 members to
represent the States, upto 20 members to represent the Union Territories and
not more than two members of the Anglo-Indian Community to be nominated by
the Hon'ble President, if, in his/her opinion, that community is not
adequately represented in the House. The total elective membership is
distributed among the States in such a way that the ratio between the number
of seats allotted to each State and the population of the State is, so far as
practicable, the same for all States. At present, the strength of the House
is 545.
