- An Indian Union with a dominion status would be set up, it would be free to decide its relations with the Commonwealth and free to participate in the United Nations and other international bodies.
- A constituent assembly would be convened after the war to frame a new constitution.
- Members of the assembly partly elected by the provincial assemblies and partly nominated by the princes.
