Which of the following statement is not correct with reference to the recognised national political parties in India?

India has seven national political parties recognized by the Election Commission of India.

Recognition as a national or a state party ensures that the election symbol of that party is not used by any other political entity in polls across India.

Recently Election Commission amended a rule whereby it will now review the national and state party status of political parties every 10 years instead of the five.

A political party becomes eligible to be recognised as a national party if it has polled 6 per cent of the total valid votes in at least four states in a Lok Sabha or Assembly election, in addition to winning four Lok Sabha seats; or it has been recognised as a state party in at least four states.
