Why is Rajya Sabha called the Upper House?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it is constituted as the upper chamber in India’s bicameral Parliament

Direct answer: A. India has a bicameral Parliament, meaning Parliament has two chambers: Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Rajya Sabha is constitutionally described as the Upper House or upper chamber, while Lok Sabha is the Lower House. “Upper” is a parliamentary label and does not mean that Rajya Sabha is superior in every power. B is wrong because most Rajya Sabha members are elected indirectly by elected members of State Legislative Assemblies, not directly by all voters. C is wrong because a Money Bill can be introduced only in Lok Sabha, subject to the constitutional procedure. D is wrong because Rajya Sabha is a permanent House; its members have staggered terms, so the statement about a shorter House term is not the reason. Rajya Sabha represents the States and provides continuity and a revising role in legislation. Memory cue: Upper/Lower describes the chamber, not overall superiority; Money Bills begin in Lok Sabha.
