Answers
Answer:Presidency & Province in broader terms means same in british india but the administration method varied.
Presidency were oldest form of administration in british .
The British Raj began with the idea of the Presidencies as the centres of government. Until 1834, when a General Legislative Council was formed, each Presidency under its Governor and Council was empowered to enact a code of so-called 'Regulations' for its government. Therefore any territory or province that was added by conquest or treaty to a presidency came under the existing regulations of the corresponding presidency. However, in the case of provinces that were acquired but were not annexed to any of the three Presidencies, their official staff could be provided as the Governor-General pleased, and was not governed by the existing regulations of the Bengal, Madras, or Bombay Presidencies. Such provinces became known as 'Non-Regulation Provinces' and up to 1833 no provision existed for a legislative power existed in such places.
Province Means:
area where governor general have more authority mostly ruled by governor or Lt Governor with less power compared to above.
