SSC Selection Post 2025 Graduate Level Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Charter Act of 1813

The Charter Act of 1813 ended the East India Company's monopoly over trade with India, opening it to all British merchants; the Company kept its monopoly only over trade in tea and trade with China.

The Regulating Act of 1773 began parliamentary control over the Company, the Indian Councils Act of 1861 brought Indians into legislative councils, and the Government of India Act of 1935 provided for provincial autonomy and a federation.

Hence, Charter Act of 1813.
