Explanation:

Statement 1: This is except that of a minister or any other office exempted by Parliament. Also, he is disqualified if he is so disqualified under any law made by Parliament or if he is of unsound mind or stands so declared by a court.

The Parliament has laid down the following additional disqualifications in the Representation of People Act (1951):

He must not have any interest in government contracts, works or services.
He must not be a director or managing agent nor hold an office of profit in a corporation in which the government has at least 25 per cent share.
The question of disqualification under the Tenth Schedule is decided by the Chairman in the case of RS, and speaker in case of LS.
In 1992, the Supreme Court ruled that the decision of the Chairman/Speaker in this regard is subject to judicial review.
