The term duration for a member of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India’s Parliament, is **six years**. However, the Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution. To ensure continuity, one-third of its members retire every two years, and elections are held to fill the vacancies. This staggered retirement process allows for a consistent presence of experienced members in the house.
