Key Points:
• The Government of India Act 1919, popularly known as the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms, introduced far-reaching structural changes in the British Indian administrative setup:
• Dyarchy in Provinces: It introduced dyarchy (dual government) in 8 major provinces, bifurcating provincial subjects into 'Transferred' (administered by the Governor with the advice of Ministers responsible to the Legislative Council) and 'Reserved' subjects (administered by the Governor and his Executive Council without responsibility to the legislature).
• Salary of Secretary of State: From 1793 onwards, the salary of the Secretary of State for India was paid out of the Indian revenues. The 1919 Act changed this rule, providing that his salary and expenses should henceforth be paid from the British Treasury (treasury of England).
• High Commissioner for India: The Act created a new office of the High Commissioner for India in the United Kingdom, transferring certain administrative and commercial duties previously performed by the Secretary of State to act as the agent/representative of the Governor-General in Council (Viceroy).
• Bicameral Legislature at Centre: It also replaced the Indian Legislative Council with a bicameral legislature consisting of the Council of State and the Legislative Assembly.
• Key Takeaway: Mont-Ford Act 1919 introduced provincial dyarchy, created the office of High Commissioner, and shifted the Secretary of State's salary to the British Exchequer.
