Which of the following was NOT including in the Pitt’s India Act of 1784?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. All the debts of the East India Company were taken over by the British Government of India.
This provision was not included in the Pitt’s India Act of 1784. The Act aimed to improve the administration of British territories in India by establishing dual control through the creation of a Board of Control and restructuring the governance framework. It brought the Madras and Bombay presidencies under Bengal’s control and allowed the Governor-General to rule with a council, but did not address Company debts.
