Disqualification for remunerative political post bars members disqualified under anti-defection from holding paid government offices. Members disqualified under paragraph 2 of the Tenth Schedule are barred from holding any remunerative political post from the date of that disqualification until the earlier of the expiry of their term as member or the date on which they contest an election to a House and are declared elected. 'Remunerative political post' includes offices paid from public revenue under central or state governments and offices under wholly or partly government owned bodies, excluding payments that are compensatory in nature.
