      Weaknesses of Indian Councils Act, 1861

      • The councils could not discuss important matters and no financial matters at all without the previous approval of the government.
      • They had no control over the budget. They could not discuss executive action.
      • The final passing of the bill needed the viceroy’s approval. Even if approved by the viceroy, the secretary of state could disallow legislation.
      • Indians associated as non-officials were members of elite sections only.
