Explanation

Article 83 of the Indian Constitution specifies that the Lok Sabha has a term of 5 years from the date of its first meeting, unless dissolved earlier. This 5-year term is the maximum constitutional life of the Lok Sabha. The House can be dissolved by the President before completing its full term on the advice of the Prime Minister, but it cannot continue beyond 5 years unless a proclamation of Emergency is in operation.
