Lord Mountbatten, India's last Viceroy, released a plan on the country's independence from the British on June 3, 1947.

The main purpose of the Mountbatten Plan was the partition of India and the speedy transfer of responsibility, initially in the form of Dominion Status.

Outlines of the plan:
- India to be divided into India and Pakistan
- Bengal and Punjab to be partitioned and a referendum in NEFP (North-East Frontier Province) and Sylhet district of Assam to be held
- A separate constituent assembly for Pakistan to frame its constitution
- The Princely states to take the liberty of joining either India or Pakistan or remain independent

August 15, 1947, was the date fixed for handing over power to India and Pakistan.

The British Government passed the Indian Independence Act of 1947 in July 1947, which contained the major provisions put forward by the Mountbatten plan.


Conclusion
The Mountbatten Plan did not only lay down the partition of India, but also provided 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, or a separate Constituent Assembly for a separate State.
