. The fifth statutory disqualification is the holding of an office under a Government company. This is contained in section 10 of the Representation of the people Act, 1951. A person is disqualified for membership of Parliament if, and for so long as he is a managing agent, manager or secretary of any corporation or company in the capital of which the Government of India has not less than 25 percent share. A co-operative society, however, is excluded from the purview of this rule.

I. The last statutory disqualification is contained in section 10-A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. It is a disqualification for failure to lodge account of election expenses within the time and in the manner required by the and under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. It is hoped that if a you stood as a candidate on any previous occasion you did not incur any such disqualification on that occasion If you have been disqualified for failure to lodge account of election expenses within the time and in the manner required by and under the Representation of the People act, 1951 then, as the period of disqualification is three years from the date of the order of the Election Commission disqualifying you, you may see whether the period of three years has elapsed or not.

These are all the disqualificatons constitutional and statutory from which you must not suffer if your want to stand as a candidate for election to the House of the People ( Lok Sabha).
