In the Indian political system, the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha are the two houses of Parliament. The Rajya Sabha is known to have more powers than the Lok Sabha when it comes to the setting up of new All-India Services. This means that the Rajya Sabha has a greater influence in matters related to the creation and functioning of national-level services such as the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and Indian Foreign Service (IFS).
It is important to note that the Rajya Sabha can only recommend the creation of new All-India Services. The final decision to establish these services lies with the President of India, who can take into consideration the views of both houses of Parliament, but is not bound by either.
In contrast, the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have equal powers regarding money bills, non-money bills, and amendments to the constitution.
