The Central government is likely to introduce a bill to increase the total number of Lok Sabha seats as well as expand reservation for women in the House. According to sources, the proposal aims to raise the current strength from 543 to 816 seats, of which 273 could be reserved for women, maintaining the 33% quota.
Preparations are also underway to carry out a delimitation exercise based on the 2011 Census data.
