The Act received the Royal Assent on 18 July 1947 and thus India and Pakistan, comprising West and East regions, came into being on 15 August.
The Mountbatten Plan not only laid down the partition of India, but provided a machinery for the areas affected by the Pakistan demand to choose, either through their Legislative Assembly representatives or through the referendum, between a single Constituent Assembly in accordance with the Cabinet Mission Plan,
Provisions of the Mountbatten Plan
British India was to be partitioned into two dominions – India and Pakistan. The constitution framed by the Constituent Assembly would not be applicable to the Muslim-majority areas (as these would become Pakistan).
The experience of working with the Muslim League in the interim government had taught the Congress that it would be impossible to work with them and that it could not have a joint administration with the League. ... Hence, the Indian National Congress accepted the Mountbatten Plan.
