The Lok Sabha, or "House of the People," is India's lower house of parliament. Each Lok Sabha term lasts five years, unless it is abolished early. The Lok Sabha can have up to 552 members, however it currently has just 545. The Lok Sabha held its inaugural session in May 1952. Aside from that, it helps in the passage of the budget and the introduction money bills. Members of the House elect the Speaker, who serves as the House's leader.
