Q. What is the duration of membership of State Legislative Councils?
β
Correct Answer: (C)
6 years
Explanation: In contrast with a state's Vidhan Sabha (Legislative. Assembly), the Legislative Council is a permanent body and cannot be dissolved., each Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) serves for a six-year term, with terms staggered so that the terms of one-third of a Council's members expire every two years. This arrangement parallels that for the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India.
