Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
The Vice-President is elected by an electoral college of the members of both Houses of Parliament for five years. He or she is the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and presides over its sittings, and acts as President when that office falls vacant or the President is unable to discharge the duties.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The Vice-President does not preside over the Rajya Sabha while acting as President.
