Which of the following qualification is not correct for being eligible as the President of India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Should have completed the minimum age of 32 years
Article 58 of the Constitution lays down who is eligible for election as President of India. A candidate must:
be a citizen of India — Option (2)
have completed 35 years of age
be qualified for election as a member of the House of the People (Lok Sabha) — Option (3)
not hold any office of profit under the Government of India, the government of any State, or any local or other authority under them — Option (4)
The minimum age is 35 years, not 32, so Option (1) is the qualification that is not correct.
