The number of Rajya Sabha members to be elected from each state of India is fixed by the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution of India. This schedule allocates seats in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament, based on the population of each state. Larger states have more representatives, while smaller states have fewer. The Fourth Schedule ensures proportional representation of states in the Rajya Sabha, maintaining a federal balance. The members are elected by the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies through a single transferable vote system, ensuring that the composition of the Rajya Sabha reflects the diversity of India's states.
