The maximum number of members that the Legislative Assembly of a State in India can have is—

According to Article 170 of the Constitution of India, the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) of each state is composed of members chosen by direct election from territorial constituencies. The Constitution stipulates that the maximum strength of a State Legislative Assembly shall not exceed 500 members, while the minimum strength is generally fixed at 60 members [t1][t3][t5]. This limit ensures that the size of the house remains manageable while reflecting the population size of the state [t5]. While the maximum is fixed at 500, certain smaller states like Goa, Sikkim, and Mizoram have been provided with lower minimum strengths through specific constitutional provisions [t5]. In contrast, the maximum strength of the Lok Sabha is fixed at 550 members [c1]. Therefore, for a State Legislative Assembly, the upper limit is 500.
