\nThe Regulating Act of 1773 was the first step by the British Parliament to regulate the affairs of the East India Company in India, thereby introducing parliamentary supervision (A). It reorganized the administration in Bengal by appointing a Governor-General (Warren Hastings) and a Council of four members (B). The Act also granted the Governor-General a casting vote in case of a tie in the Council (D). However, concerning the Court of Proprietors (shareholders of the Company), the Act *raised* the voting qualification from \u00a3500 to \u00a31000 shareholding, effectively *restricting* the franchise and reducing the number of eligible voters, rather than removing restrictions (C).

\n– Key provisions of Regulating Act 1773: Governor-General of Bengal with a Council, casting vote for Governor-General, establishment of Supreme Court in Calcutta, ban on private trade by company servants, raising voting qualification for Court of Proprietors.
\n– Aim: To control and regulate the affairs of the East India Company.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Regulating Act was a response to the financial difficulties of the East India Company and the growing concerns in Britain about its misrule and corruption. While it attempted to bring some order and accountability, it had several drawbacks, such as the limited powers of the Governor-General and conflicts between the Supreme Court and the Council.
