Answer 2

The statement is true that the Pitt's India act was an improvement over the regulatory act of 1773. Pitt’s India act was also called the East India Company Act that happened in 1784.

Regulating Act 1773 had many defects which include:

• The East India Company was under a severe financial crisis.
• Corruption was rampant among the company officials.
• The concerns of the Indian population were not addressed as they were the one who paid revenue.
• The company was about maximizing the profit and it neglected the lawlessness in Bengal where a large population lived.
• The power of the supreme court was not well defined.

Hence, Pitt's India act was passed to remove the defects of the regulatory act.

• It differentiated the political and commercial affairs of the company.
• It ensured a double government system in India, The crown (Great Britain) and The East India Company.
• The double government ensured proper administration and collection of revenue.
• The British Government directly controlled the Governor General.
• The power of the supreme court was well defined.
