Answer:
Instrument of accession means that their state agreed to become a part of the Indian union. The instrument involved the transfer of only three subjects - defence, foreign affairs and communication to the Indian union , without an encroachment on their other powers . The government, thus, guaranteed ruler's autonomy to a great extent.
