The President of India can nominate a total of 14 members to the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and 2 members to the Lok Sabha (House of the People). The nominated members in the Rajya Sabha are chosen from among persons with special knowledge or practical experience in specific fields such as literature, science, art, and social service. In the Lok Sabha, the nominated members are typically representatives of the Anglo-Indian community, although this provision has been abolished since the 104th Constitutional Amendment in January 2020.
