Qualification

Article 58 defines the qualifications for the position of President of India. He should be an Indian. He must be 35 years old.

Table of Content
  •  

Non-citizens are not allowed to run for office in the United States. As enshrined in Section 84 (a) of the Indian Constitution, an individual cannot be selected to occupy a Parliamentary majority even if he is an Indian citizen. State governments have items and services. To run for office, a citizen must first be enrolled to vote in the primary in which they want to run. Electoral exclusion is imposed if an individual is found guilty of a crime and sentenced to two years or above in jail. Despite the belief that a man is out on parole and his petition is unresolved, the Indian Supreme court has set rules that disqualify him from running for office. A candidate cannot be elected to the presidency unless they are an Indian citizen, have reached the age of thirty-five, and are entitled to run for a seat in the House of People, as stipulated in Article 58.

Union executive qualification of members of the parliamentary house:

An individual may be qualified as a member of the parliament only if:

  1. He is an Indian citizen and swears or confesses in the manner prescribed by the Executive Council in the Third Schedule before such a person authorized in that capacity;
  2. The person must be at least thirty years old in the State Legislative Assembly, and at least twenty-five years in the House of Representatives, and 
  3. If the person fulfills any additional requirements that Parliament may specify in this regard by that under any legislation it passes.

Qualification of members of the state legislature:

An individual may be qualified as a member of the State Legislative Assembly only if:

  1. He is an Indian citizen and swears or confesses in the manner prescribed by the Executive Council in the Third Schedule before such a person authorized in that capacity;
  2. The person must be at least thirty years old in the State Legislative Assembly, and at least twenty-five years in the House of Representatives, and 
  3. If the person fulfills any additional requirements that Parliament may specify in this regard by that under any legislation it passes.

Union executive qualification of the members of the council of states:

There should be no representation from any Indian province or Territory anywhere at a level in the State Legislative Assembly for any individual who isn’t really eligible to vote in a parliamentary majority in India.

Union executive qualification of the members of the house of people:

Qualification

  1. An Indian citizen
  2. Older than 35
  3. Qualified for Lok Sabha elections
  4. There is not a single profit-making office in the federal, state, municipal, or other public sector.
  5. Proposals signed by more than 50 electors and seconders signed by more than 50 electors

Immunities

  • Immunity from any legal procedures relating to his official duties.
  • Immune from prosecution, even for private conduct
  • Is not subject to arrest or incarceration
  • Civil lawsuits cannot be brought against them until two months; notice is provided.

Terms

  • During the course of five years
  • Vice Presidents have the option of tendering their resignations.
  • No limit to the number of times one may be re-elected

Qualification of the members of the state legislature:

An individual may be qualified as a member of the State Legislature only if:

  1. He is an Indian citizen and swears or confesses in the manner prescribed by the Executive Council in the Third Schedule before such a person authorized in that capacity;
  2. The person must be at least thirty years old in the State Legislative Assembly, and at least twenty-five years in the House of Representatives, and 
  3. If the person fulfills any additional requirements that Parliament may specify in this regard by that under any legislation it passes.

Conclusion:

State governments have items and services. To run for office, a citizen must first be enrolled to vote in the primary in which they want to run. There shall be neither disqualification for every candidate to be elected or nominated towards the Lok Sabha or the Legislative Assemblies, whether it be by-elections or nominations. To determine the eligibility of union executives, the period of review of submissions is more important than the date of filing of the certificate of candidacy.
