Are there any provisions for ensuring that the ratio between population and seats allotted to a state is maintained when composing the House of the People?
Yes, there are provisions for ensuring that the ratio between population and seats allotted to a state is maintained when composing the House of the People. According to Article 81(2)(a), each State shall be allocated a number of seats in the House of the People such that the ratio between that number and the population of the State is, as far as practicable, the same for all States. This ensures that the allocation of seats is proportional to the population of each state.
