According to Article 79 of the Constitution of India, the Parliament of India consists of the President, the Council of States, and the House of the People.
Article 79 explicitly states the composition of the Indian Parliament. The Council of States is the Rajya Sabha (Upper House), and the House of the People is the Lok Sabha (Lower House). The President is a crucial component of the Parliament, as bills passed by both Houses require the President’s assent to become law.
Although the President is not a member of either House, the role is integral to the legislative process. This structure reflects the parliamentary system of government where the head of state is part of the legislature but distinct from the head of government.
