Red Book

[A] Prorogation can only occur after the House is adjourned sine die

[B] The Rajya Sabha is dissolved during prorogation

[C] The President can prorogue the House even while it is in session

[D] Prorogation requires the approval of the Supreme Court

Answer: C
Notes:

Explanation – Prorogation is the termination of a session of Parliament by the President. It doesn’t require the House to be adjourned sine die. The President has the power to prorogue the House at any time, even while it is in session. Prorogation typically occurs after the House is adjourned sine die, but there is no constitutional restriction preventing the President from proroguing the House while it is still in session.
