Answer

In addition to the elected 550 members, two members of the Anglo-Indian community may be nominated by the President to the Lok Sabha, in case he feels that this community is not adequately represented.

(Note — The 104th Constitutional Amendment Act passed in January 2020 did away with the nomination of Anglo-Indians to Lok Sabha and certain state assemblies. The reservation was provided for a period of 70 years which expired on January 25, 2020.)
