What are the conditions for a political party to get recognition as a national party?

A political party becomes eligible to be recognised as a national party if it fulfils any

of the three following conditions:
* The party has won 2 per cent of seats in the Lok Sabha (11 seats) from at least three
different states in the latest general election.
* In an election to the Lok Sabha or Legislative Assembly, the party has polled 6 per
cent of the total valid votes in at least four states, in addition to winning four Lok
Sabha seats.
* A party has got recognition as a state party in at least four states.
Once a political party is recognised as a national party, the question of whether it
continues to be recognised as such after subsequent Lok Sabha polls depends on
whether it fulfils any of the three conditions.
