    Solution

    A person can remain a minister without being a member of either House of the State Legislature for a maximum period of six months. This provision is laid out in the Indian Constitution, which allows a non-member to be appointed as a minister, but mandates that the person must become a member of the legislature within six months of their appointment. If the person does not become a member within this period, they must resign from the ministerial position.
