APSC CCE 2022 · Question 22 of 176

Which of the following statements about membership of the Indian Parliament is/are false? (i) For qualifying to the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, a person must be at least 25 years and 35 years of age respectively. (ii) A person belonging to the Scheduled Castes or the Scheduled Tribes can contest elections from a general constituency too. (iii) If a member of the Parliament votes against the directions of his/her party, he/she can be deemed to be disqualified on the ground of defection. Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

Indian Polity

  1. AOnly (i)Correct
  2. BOnly (ii)
  3. CBoth (ii) and (iii)
  4. DBoth (i) and (iii)

Answer: A. Only (i)

Explanation

Statement (i) is false because the minimum age for the Rajya Sabha is 30 years, not 35; a member of the SC/ST can contest from a general constituency, and voting against party directions attracts disqualification under the anti-defection law.
