Composition of the House of the People: capped membership and population-based seat allocation with a census-based freeze on delimitation. Composition of the House of the People imposes capped membership for State-elected and Union territory representatives, requires seat allotment to preserve, so far as practicable, equal ratios between seats and State population, and mandates uniform constituency population-to-seat ratios within States; a proviso exempts States below a population threshold from that rule. 'Population' is tied to the last published census, with transitional provisions prescribing use of specified earlier census figures for different allocation rules until later census data are published.
