Difference between the British and Indian PM

Constitutional position of the Indian PM is modeled on the British PM, with one difference. In India, the PM can be a member of either House of Parliament, i.e. Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha. However, this is not so in Britain. It is a convention in Britain that the PM will always be a member of the Lower House (House of Commons) only.
