The statement “Reservation of 18 per cent seats for Depressed classes” was NOT a provision of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact.
The Gandhi-Irwin Pact, signed on March 5, 1931, was an agreement between Mahatma Gandhi and Viceroy Lord Irwin to bring an end to the Civil Disobedience Movement. Its provisions included the participation of Congress in the Second Round Table Conference, withdrawal of ordinances, release of political prisoners (except those convicted of violence), return of confiscated property (except land sold to third parties), and permission to collect salt by the coast.
