While not more than 525 members can be directly elected to the Lok Sabha from the territorial constituencies in the states, the Union Territories can send maximum 20 members to it.Further, the President of India has power to nominate two members to the Lok Sabha from the Anglo-Indian community if he feels that the community is not adequately represented in the Parliament.
