The correct option is C) He is not entitled to receive salary.

A person becomes a member upon election, but their entitlement to salary and allowances typically begins from the date they make and subscribe the oath or affirmation. This is governed by the Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members of Parliament Act, 1954, and related rules. Before taking the oath, they cannot take their seat, vote, or participate in the proceedings of the House.

While a member can resign before taking the oath, they cannot seek leave of absence *from the House* as they haven’t yet taken their seat. They also cannot participate in committees or ask questions in the House before taking the oath.
