After how many days of absence from Parliament without permission will a Member of Parliament be disqualified?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 60 days.

A Member of Parliament (MP) in India can be disqualified if they are absent from the House without permission for 60 consecutive days. This provision is outlined in the Representation of the People Act, 1951. If an MP fails to attend sessions of Parliament for 60 days or more, and there is no valid reason or permission for their absence, they may face disqualification from their position. This rule ensures accountability and regular participation in parliamentary duties.
