Article 75 of the Constitution insists that members of the Central Council of Ministers

  • A.Must be member of Lok Sabha only
  • B.From Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha or any of the State Legislative Assemblies
  • C.Must be a member of either House of Parliament
  • D.Must not be member of Rajya Sabha

Answer: C

Ministers must be a member of either House of Parliament.

Under Article 75(5) a minister who for six consecutive months is not a member of either House ceases to be a minister at the end of that period. So a minister may come from the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha, and a non-member can be appointed only on condition of entering Parliament within six months.

Members of the Rajya Sabha are regularly ministers, so 'Lok Sabha only' and 'must not be member of Rajya Sabha' are wrong. Membership of a state assembly does not count.
