    Solution

    The Vice President of India serves as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha but is not a member of the house. While they can vote only in the event of a tie, they also appoint the Chairman and members of various Rajya Sabha committees. When acting as President, the Vice President cannot perform duties as the Rajya Sabha Chairman; these responsibilities are transferred to the Deputy Chairman.
