The British Cabinet Mission of 1946 to India aimed to discuss and plan for the transfer of power from the British Raj to Indian leadership, providing India with independence under Dominion status in the Commonwealth of Nations. Formulated at the initiative of Clement Attlee, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the mission consisted of Lord Pethick-Lawrence, the Secretary of State for India, Sir Stafford Cripps, President of the Board of Trade, and A. V. Alexander, the First Lord of the Admiralty.

The Mission's purpose was to:

Hold preparatory discussions with elected representatives of British India and the Indian states in order to secure agreement as to the method of framing the constitution.
Set up a constitution body.
Set up an Executive Council with the support of the main Indian parties.

Answer 2

Here is your answer.

The Cabinet Mission arrived in March, 1946 when there were hectic political activities in the Capital and the Provincial Head Quarters all over the country. A series of meetings were held with leaders of the Congress and League in order to find out a common leader of the Congress and League in order to find out a common line of action but the two political parties had divergent views and therefore, could not agree upon any formula whatsoever.

The Mission had the same fate as the Cabinet Mission and the Simla Conference had already met. It was too a failure although the Mission gave out its own scheme to be considered by both the Congress and the League.
