The correct answer is: 6 years.
The initial tenure of member of Lok Sabha was 5 years. It was changed by 42nd amendment to 6 years. The 42nd amendment was passed in 1976 by the Indira Gandhi government. It was a controversial amendment that made many changes to the Indian Constitution. One of the changes it made was to increase the tenure of the Lok Sabha from 5 years to 6 years. This change was made in order to give the government more stability and to prevent frequent elections.
The 42nd amendment was also controversial because it gave the President of India more powers. It also made it difficult for the Supreme Court to strike down laws passed by Parliament. The 42nd amendment was eventually repealed in 1977, but the change to the tenure of the Lok Sabha remained.
The tenure of the Lok Sabha is currently 6 years. This means that the Lok Sabha is elected every 6 years. The next general election is due to be held in 2024.
