Explanation

According to Article 94 of the Indian Constitution, the Speaker of Lok Sabha must resign by writing to the Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha. This provision ensures continuity and constitutional propriety in the Speaker's office. The Deputy Speaker then becomes the presiding officer until a new Speaker is elected. This is different from many other offices where resignation is addressed to higher authorities.
