The Cabinet Mission proposals (1946) did NOT include the creation of a sovereign Pakistan with six Muslim-majority provinces. The Mission explicitly rejected the demand for a separate, fully sovereign Pakistan, considering it unfeasible.
The Cabinet Mission Plan proposed a united India with a three-tier structure: a Union dealing with Defence, External Affairs, and Communications, provinces, and groups of provinces (Sections A, B, C). It also proposed the formation of a Constituent Assembly to draft the Constitution of India.
The three sections of provinces proposed were: Section A (Hindu-majority provinces), Section B (Muslim-majority provinces in the North-West), and Section C (Muslim-majority provinces in the North-East). Provinces could opt out of groups after the first general election.
