Which pact provided reserved seats for the Depressed Classes in Provincial and Central Legislative Councils ?
Poona Pact
The Communal Award of August 1932 gave the Depressed Classes separate electorates; Gandhi began a fast unto death in Yerwada jail against this separation.
The Poona Pact, signed on 24 September 1932 between B.R. Ambedkar and Madan Mohan Malaviya with Gandhi's consent, replaced separate electorates with joint electorates and reserved seats: 148 seats in the provincial legislatures and 18% of the general seats in the Central Legislature for the Depressed Classes.
The Lucknow Pact of 1916 was a Congress–Muslim League agreement on separate electorates for Muslims, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact of 1931 suspended the Civil Disobedience Movement, and the Bengal Pact of 1923 was a Hindu–Muslim power-sharing plan of C.R. Das.
Poona Pact option is correct.
