The Government of India Act, 1935, provided ______________.
Provincial autonomy and federal structure
The Government of India Act, 1935 was a major constitutional reform that reshaped British administration in India.
It abolished dyarchy in the provinces and introduced provincial autonomy, giving elected ministers responsibility over the entire provincial administration.
It also proposed an All-India Federation combining British provinces and princely states, establishing a federal structure (though the federation never actually came into being).
Dyarchy was instead introduced at the centre, so the option about dyarchy in provinces is incorrect.
Hence, the Act provided provincial autonomy and a federal structure.
