Which Article of the Indian Constitution mentions that the President is eligible for reelection?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Article 57.

Article 57 of the Indian Constitution clearly states, "A person who holds, or who has held, office as President shall, subject to the other provisions of this Constitution, be eligible for re-election to that office."1 This means there is no limit on the number of terms a President can serve in India, unlike in some other countries. Therefore, any individual who has been or is currently President can stand for re-election, provided they meet all other constitutional qualifications.
