c) The Charter Act of 1793
d) The Charter Act of 1833
Answer »Answer: (d)
Through the Charter Act of 1833, the commercial activities of the East India Company were finally put to an end.
The Industrial Revolution in Britain, the consequent search for markets, and the rise of laissez-faire economic ideology form the background to the Government of India Act 1833.
The Act removed the Company’s remaining trade monopolies and divested it of all its commercial functions and renewed for another twenty years the Company’s political and administrative authority.

Who signed the Treaty of Pune on the 13th June 1817?
a) Malhar Rao Holkar
b) Baji Rao II
c) Daulat Rao Schindhia
d) Appa Saheb
Answer »Answer: (b)
Baji Rao II signed the treaty of Pune on the 13th June 1817. Peshwa Baji Rao II wanted to become the head of the Maratha Confederacy and at the same time wanted freedom from the British control. His Chief Minister Tirimbakji encouraged him.
On the advice of the Company, the Gaekwar sent his Prime Minister Gangadhar Shastri to negotiate with the Peshwa. On his way back, Gangadhar Shastri was murdered at Nasik in July 1815, at the instance of Triambakji. This caused a lot of anger not only among the Marathas but also among the British.
The latter asked the Peshwa to hand overTriambakji to them. Peshwa handed over his Minister to the British, who lodged him in Thana jail from where he escaped.
Consequently, on 13 June 1817, the British Resident Elphinstone forced the Peshwa to sign the treaty of Poona. Baji Rao gave up his desire to become the supreme head of the Marathas.
