Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is incorrect, as the current salary of the President of India is Rs. 5 lakhs per month, and not Rs. 65,000/- per month. Statement 3 is also incorrect, as ex-Presidents of India draw a pension of Rs. 5 lakhs per month, and not Rs. 30 lakhs per year. Therefore, the correct answer is:

  1. The nomination paper for election to the office of President of India should be subscribed by at least fifty electors as proposers and at least fifty electors as seconders.
