Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The presiding officer of the Rajya Sabha is called the Chairman. According to the Constitution of India, the Vice President of India presides over the meeting of the Rajya Sabha. The Vice President is also known as the Ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. It is pertinent to know that the Vice President is not considered a member of the Rajya Sabha. A Deputy Chairman is also elected from amongst the members of the house to act as the Chairman in the absence of the Vice President.
Thus, the correct statement would be that the presiding officer of the Rajya Sabha is called a Chairman.
