Consider the following statements : 1. The discussions in the Third Round Table Conference eventually led to the passing of the Government of India Act of 1935. 2. The Government of India Act of 1935 provided for the establishment of an All India Federation to be based on a Union of the provinces of British India and the Princely States. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Both statements are correct. The three Round Table Conferences (1930–32) debated the federal scheme for India, and the Third Round Table Conference’s recommendations were published as a White Paper which fed directly into the bill that became the Government of India Act, 1935 [2]. The Act incorporated those proposals and formally provided for an All‑India Federation, envisaging a union of the British Indian provinces and the princely states (with terms of accession specified and states given discretion to join), making the federation a central feature of the Act’s scheme of government [1]. Thus the Third Round Table deliberations contributed to the Act, and the Act did provide for an All‑India Federation.
