Originally, the number of members of Lok Sabha was fixed at 500, but it has been increased from time to time. It has been decided through the Goa, Daman and Diu Act, 1987 that the maximum number of members of Lok Sabha can be 552. Up to 530 members shall be elected from the constituencies in states, up to 20 members shall be elected from the constituencies of Union Territories, and remaining 2 members (of Anglo-Indian Community) shall be nominated by the President.
