Question

What is the maximum age prescribed for election as President of India?
A) 62 years
B) 60 years
C) 58 years
D) No such limit

Answer 1

Hint: The President, in the draught constitution, holds the same position as the King in the English Constitution. He is the President of the Republic, but not the Executive. He is the Nation's representative, but he is not the Nation's ruler. He is the country's symbol. In the administration, he serves as a ceremonial element on a seal that announces the nation's decisions.

Complete answer:
The President of India is India's ceremonial head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Ram Nath Kovind is the current President of India.

When India became a republic on January 26, 1950, when its constitution went into effect, the position of President was established. The president is elected indirectly by an electoral college that includes both houses of India's Parliament as well as the legislative assemblies of each of the country's states and territories, all of whom are directly elected.

Article 58 of the constitution lays out the basic requirements for running for president. A president must be an Indian citizen. He must be at least 35 years old. For the president of India, there is no upper age limit. To be elected to the Lok Sabha, one must be qualified.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: The president picks the prime minister who is most likely to get the backing of the Lok Sabha majority (usually the leader of the majority party or coalition). At the suggestion of the prime minister, the president appoints the other members of the Council of Ministers and distributes responsibilities to them. The president's 'satisfaction' keeps the Council of Ministers in power.
