Article 191 - Disqualifications for membership

Disqualification for state legislature membership: office-of-profit, mental incapacity, insolvency, foreign allegiance, and statutory bars apply.

Disqualification for membership in a State Legislature arises where a person holds an office of profit under the Union or State unless exempted by law, is declared of unsound mind, is an undischarged insolvent, lacks or has renounced Indian citizenship or acknowledges foreign allegiance, or is disqualified by parliamentary law; being a Minister does not alone amount to holding an office of profit, and additional disqualification criteria are provided under the relevant constitutional Schedule.
