Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Election Commission has specified the proportion of votes and seats that a party must receive to be recognised. A national party receives at least 6% of the total votes cast in Lok Sabha or Assembly elections in four states and wins at least four seats in the Lok Sabha. A State party receives at least 6% of the votes cast in a State's Legislative Assembly election and wins at least two seats. In 2006, the country had six nationally recognised parties, according to this classification. Every political party in the country is required to register with the Election Commission.
The correct statement is that a national party receives at least 6% of the total votes cast in Lok Sabha or Assembly elections in four states and wins at least four seats in the Lok Sabha.
