The Rajya Sabha has special powers in these two areas

Authorizing Legislation on the State List (Article 249) It can pass a resolution by a two-thirds majority to empower the Parliament to legislate on a subject in the State List, typically under the control of individual states. This happens if the Rajya Sabha considers it necessary for the national interest.

Creation of All-India Services (Article 312) Through a special resolution with a two-thirds majority, the Rajya Sabha can initiate the creation of new All-India Services. These are elite civil service positions serving both the central government and states, promoting national integration and uniformity in governance.

Options (a), (c), and (d) are not special powers of the Rajya Sabha

Changing state territories or names, amending the President's election procedure and determining their pension and Determining Election Commission functions and the number of commissioners are powers shared by both houses of Parliament.
