Total strength of Rajya Sabha is
limited by the Constitution to a maximum of 250 members, and current
laws have provision for 245 members. Most of the members of the House
are indirectly elected by state and territorial legislatures using
single transferable vote, while the President of India can appoint 12
members for their contributions to art, literature, science, and social
services. Members sit for staggered six-year terms, with one third of
the members retiring every two years.
Total : 245
Elected : 233
Nominated : 08
Vacant : 04 (2 elected and 2 nominated.)
However the Constitution of India allows a total of 250 members.
