Article 102 - Disqualifications for membership

Disqualification for membership: grounds include office of profit, unsound mind, insolvency, foreign allegiance, and statutory disqualifications.

Disqualification for membership of either House of Parliament arises where a person holds an office of profit under the Union or a State (unless exempted by Parliament), is of unsound mind as declared by a competent court, is an undischarged insolvent, lacks or has renounced Indian citizenship or owes allegiance to a foreign State, or is disqualified by Parliamental law; ministerial office alone does not automatically constitute an office of profit, and disqualifications under the Tenth Schedule also apply.
