The maximum number of members in a State Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) is 500, as stipulated in Article 170 of the Indian Constitution.

Key Points:

• Minimum Strength: The minimum number of members for a State Legislative Assembly is 60 (except in a few smaller states, such as Sikkim, Mizoram, and Goa, where the number is less due to special provisions).
• Maximum Strength: The upper limit is fixed at 500 members, irrespective of the population of the state.
• Current Exceptions: Some smaller states have fewer than 60 members in their Legislative Assemblies due to their population size and special constitutional provisions.

Additional Information:

• Composition: Members of the State Legislative Assembly are directly elected by the people of the state through adult suffrage.
• Term: The term of the Legislative Assembly is 5 years, unless dissolved sooner.
• Special Provisions: States like Sikkim (32 members), Goa (40 members), and Mizoram (40 members) have exceptions to the minimum strength of 60.
