Who among the following holds the position of ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha ?

This question was previously asked in
UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (25-Oct-2026) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Vice-President of India

Article 64 of the Constitution states that the Vice-President shall be the ex-officio Chairman of the Council of States, and Article 89 repeats that the Vice-President is the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides only over the lower House, the Prime Minister leads the Council of Ministers, and the President is part of Parliament but presides over neither House.

Therefore the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha is the Vice-President of India.

Hence, Vice-President of India.
