The Indian Independence Act of 1947 was based on the Mountbatten Plan, also known as the Plan for Partition. This Act was introduced by Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, and it provided for the partition of India into two independent nations: India and Pakistan.
The Mountbatten Plan involved the division of Punjab and Bengal into separate provinces for India and Pakistan.
Lord Mountbatten was tasked with overseeing the transfer of power and ensuring that the two new nations could become independent.
The Act gave full sovereignty to the two nations, and India became a Dominion of the British Commonwealth.
