Composition of the House of the People defined; apportionment and constituency readjustment follow census-based proportionality under parliamentary law. The substituted provisions set the Composition of the House of the People with members elected from States and members representing Union Territories as Parliament may provide; seats and constituency divisions must, so far as practicable, maintain proportionality between seats and population, using population figures from the last published census. The Readjustment after each census requires that seat allocation and constituency boundaries be readjusted after each census by authority and method prescribed by Parliament, but such readjustment does not affect representation in the then existing House until its dissolution.
