Text of statute as originally enacted

The East India Company Act 1772 (13 Geo. 3. c. 63) (also known as the Regulating Act 1773) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain intended to overhaul the management of the East India Company's rule in India (Bengal).^[1] The act did not prove to be a long-term solution to concerns over the company's affairs. The East India Company Act 1784 (24 Geo. 3. Sess. 2. c. 25) was therefore subsequently enacted as a more radical reform. It marked the first step towards parliamentary control over the company and centralised administration in India.
