The Government of India Act provided provincial autonomy. The members of provincial legislature were elected. The executive was made liable before legislature, but the central government has such powers, by which they could interfere in any of the provincial jurisdictions.

By declaring an emergency, governor – general could mark an end to provincial autonomy. The governors had many special rights which compromised the autonomy. The position of ministers was quite weak. There was lack of collective responsibility. So, it is clear that provincial autonomy provided in Government of India Act, 1935, was nothing but a myth.
