Explanation:

All these criteria are laid down in the Representation of People Act 1951 & Not in the constitution.
Qualifications to Become an MP
As per article 84 of the constitution, a person is qualified to be a member of parliament provided he:

• is a citizen of India
• has completed 30 years of age in case of Rajya Sabha and 25 years in case of Lok Sabha.
• possesses such other qualifications as may be prescribed in that behalf by or under any law made by Parliament.
• The third condition above led the parliament to include other qualifications for MPs in the Representation of People Act (1951).
