When was the Constituent Assembly formed in India?
1946
The Constituent Assembly of India was constituted in 1946 under the Cabinet Mission Plan, with members indirectly elected by the provincial legislative assemblies (elections held in July-August 1946).
It held its first meeting on 9 December 1946, with Dr Sachchidananda Sinha as the temporary chairman; Dr Rajendra Prasad was elected permanent President on 11 December 1946.
1949 is when the Constitution was adopted (26 November 1949) and 1950 is when it came into force (26 January 1950); 1945 predates the Cabinet Mission.
Hence, the Constituent Assembly was formed in 1946.
