What is the minimum age required to be eligible as a Member of the Lok Sabha?
25 years
25 years is correct.
Article 84 of the Indian Constitution lays down the qualifications required to be chosen as a Member of Parliament. For membership of the Lok Sabha (House of the People), it specifies that a person must be a citizen of India, must not hold any office of profit under the Government, and must have completed the age of 25 years.
The other options correspond to different offices: 35 years is the minimum for the President, Vice-President, and a Governor; 30 years is the minimum age for a Member of the Rajya Sabha (Council of States); 21 years is the minimum age for contesting panchayat and municipal elections, not for Parliament; a Member of a State Legislative Assembly must also be at least 25. For the Lok Sabha itself, the Constitution fixes the floor at 25 years.
Hence, the minimum age is 25 years.
