They said the bill on the office of profit issue is expected to be introduced on May 17 and would be taken up for consideration soon.

Gandhi became a member of the Lok Sabha again less than seven weeks after resigning in the face of a shrill opposition attack on her over the office of profit issue.

She had on March 23 resigned as chairpersonship of the National Advisory Council (NAC) as she was facing disqualification petitions that she was holding an office of profit.

Congress sources said the NAC post would certainly be among the posts exempted from the category of offices of profit in the proposed bill.
