Double Membership: An MP must vacate their seat if they simultaneously hold seats in both houses of Parliament or in the legislature of a state. This rule is designed to prevent a conflict of interest and ensure dedication to one legislative body.

Resignation: MPs can vacate their seats by resigning. This is a voluntary action.
