hey mate here's your answer....
The maximum strength of the House allotted by the Constitution of India is 552 (Initially, in 1950, it was 500). Currently, the house has 543 seats which is made up by the election of up to 543 elected members and at a maximum. Between 1952 and 2020, 2 additional members of the Anglo-Indian community were also nominated by the President of India on the advice of Government of India, which was abolished in January 2020 by the 104th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019.The Lok Sabha has a seating capacity of 550.
A total of 131 seats (24.03%) are reserved for representatives of Scheduled Castes (84) and Scheduled Tribes (47). The quorum for the House is 10% of the total membership. The Lok Sabha, unless sooner dissolved, continues to operate for five years from the date appointed for its first meeting. However, while a proclamation of emergency is in operation, this period may be extended by Parliament by law.[5]
An exercise to redraw Lok Sabha constituencies' boundaries is carried out by the Boundary Delimitation Commission of India every decade based on the Indian census, last of which was conducted in 2011.[7] This exercise earlier also included redistribution of seats among states based on demographic changes but that provision of the mandate of the commission was suspended in 1976 following a constitutional amendment to incentivise the family planning programme which was being implemented.[8] The 17th Lok Sabha was elected in May 2019 and is the latest to date
The Lok Sabha has its own television channel, Lok Sabha TV, headquartered within the premises of Parliament.

Representational PicLok Sabha on Thursday passed the Consumer Protection Bill, 2018 that seeks to replace the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.
The Bill enforces consumer rights and provides a mechanism for redressal of complaints regarding deficiencies in goods and services. It seeks to establish Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions at District, State and National levels.
The district Commissions are authorised to look into complaints involving claims worth one crore rupees, which was 20 lakh rupees earlier.
The State Commissions’ limit is to be increased from one crore rupees to 15 crore rupees. Complaints over and above that limit would be handled by the National Commission. The Bill also seeks to impose stringent punishment for food adulterations.
Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Ram Vilas Paswan moved the Bill for further consideration in the post-lunch session. He said, the prevailing act is thirty-two years old, which does not reflect conditions in the current consumer market.
The Bill was supported by all the eleven members who participated in the discussion, though Congress members continued to raise slogans seeking JPC probe on Rafale deal.
In his reply, Mr. Paswan denied the apprehensions of some members that it would encroach upon the powers of the states in making appointments to the Consumer Commissions. The Bill was passed later by a voice vote.
Talking to media outside the Parliament, the Minister said, the bill was necessary keeping in mind the rising awareness among consumers about their rights.
Lok Sabha also passed the National Trust for Welfare of Persons With Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental retardation and Multiple Disabilities (Amendment) Bill, 2018.
Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Thaawar Chand Gehlot moved the Bill in the post-lunch session. After a very brief discussion, it was passed by a voice vote.
Congress members continued to raise slogans in support of their demand for JPC probe into Rafale deal till the two bills were passed.
Later, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the House for the day as acrimonious scenes continued to mar the proceedings.
Earlier, in the morning, Congress, AIADMK and TDP members were in the well protesting on several issues, forcing the Chair to adjourn the proceedings till noon.
As the House reassembled, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley presented the Supplementary Demands for Grants for the current financial year, amidst noisy scenes. He also introduced Companies (Amendment) Bill, 2018.
The Rajya Sabha also witnessed noisy scenes over Rafale aircraft deal and Cauvery issue before adjourning for the day.
Chairman Venkaiah Naidu adjourned the House within ten minutes after it met for the day. Congress and BJP MPs exchanged heated arguments on Rafale while AIADMK and DMK members surged into the well holding placards in support of their demand for a permanent solution to the Cauvery water dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
