Explanation
The features of the Government of India Act, 1935 included the proposal of an Indian Federation, reorganization of the Governor-General’s Executive Council, and provincial autonomy; however, there was no provision for an evaluation of the Act of 1935. This Act also provided for the establishment of a Federal Court, division of powers between the Centre and the Provinces, a bicameral Central Legislature, abolition of dyarchy in the provinces, and dyarchy at the Centre, etc. India’s present constitutional structure is largely based on the Act of 1935.
