According to the general practice and conventions followed in the Rajya Sabha, the time allocated for the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address is usually around 10 hours. This time is allocated among various political parties and groups in proportion to their strength in the House. While the final allocation is decided by the Business Advisory Committee and approved by the House, 10 hours is the standard duration earmarked for this discussion in Rajya Sabha.

The conventional time limit for the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President in Rajya Sabha is 10 hours.

The President’s Address is delivered at the commencement of the first session after each general election and the first session of each year, outlining the government’s policies and programmes. A motion of thanks is then moved in both Houses of Parliament to express gratitude to the President for the address, and a detailed discussion follows.
