Anti Defection law basically just lays down the conditions in which MPs and MLAs can be disqualified from holding their membership on the grounds of defection. Here are the conditions -
1) MPs and MLAs are disqualifiedin case they give up the membership of their party from which they had been elected to the legislature.
2) In case of a nominated member, if the nominated member joins a political party after 6 months of his nomination, he stands disqualified
3) An independent candidate would be disqualified in case he joins some party
Also note that if a member doesn't abide by his party rules but there's a split in the party, then he would not be disqualified.
