Regulating Act 1773

Common card · No. 353327

The East India Company Act 1772 (13 Geo. 3. c. 63), also known as the Regulating Act 1773, was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain intended to overhaul the management of the East India Company's affairs in India (Bengal). The act did not prove to be a long-term solution to concerns over the company's affairs. The 1784 Pitt's India Act (24 Geo. 3. Sess. 2. c. 25) was therefore subsequently enacted as a more radical reform. It marked the first step towards parliamentary control over the company and centralised administration in India.
