Rajya Sabha Seats
The Constitution’s Fourth Schedule lays out how the States and Union Territories would be assigned seats in the Rajya Sabha. Each State’s population is taken into account while allocating seats. Since 1952, the number of elected members in the Rajya Sabha that have been assigned to States and Union Territories as a result of state reorganizations and the creation of new states has fluctuated.

Rajya Sabha – Members, Seats & Election Process
Members of the Rajya Sabha who are selected to represent the states and union territories in the legislature are chosen through the Rajya Sabha Election procedure. These individuals are chosen to be Rajya Sabha representatives. The elected members of that state’s Legislative Assembly and the members of that Union Territory’s electoral college will depend on the circumstances. Using a proportional representation system that grants each voter one voice, each cast their vote for the representatives of their respective states and union territories.
