Statement B is not correct about the Indian Independence Act, 1947.

The Indian Independence Act, 1947, was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into two new independent dominions, India and Pakistan.

Statement A is correct: The Bill for the Indian Independence Act was introduced on July 4, 1947, and received Royal Assent on July 18, 1947. Statement C is correct: The Act explicitly provided for the creation of two independent Dominions, India and Pakistan. Statement D is correct: The Act gave sovereign power to the Constituent Assembly of each Dominion to frame and adopt any constitution it deemed fit, granting them the power to abrogate or modify any Act of the British Parliament, including the 1947 Act itself. Statement B is incorrect because the Act did not lay down the basic framework of the Indian Constitution; instead, it empowered the Constituent Assembly to create its own constitution, thereby providing the legal basis for the constitution-making process. The framework was decided by the Constituent Assembly members through deliberations and committees.
