Abstract: Let $G$ be a group. The prime index graph of $G$, denoted by $Pi(G)$, is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all subgroups of $G$ and two distinct comparable vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if the index of $H$ in $K$ or the index of $K$ in $H$ is prime. In this paper, it is shown that for every group $G$, $Pi(G)$ is bipartite and the girth of $Pi(G)$ is contained in the set $4,infty$. Also we prove that if $G$ is a finite solvable group, then $Pi(G)$ is connected.
