The Government of India Act 1935 was an Act passed by the British Parliament that originally received royal assent in August 1935. It was the longest Act that the British Parliament ever enacted until the Greater London Authority Act 1999 surpassed it.^{[citation needed]} Because of its length, the Act was retroactively split by the Government of India Act, 1935 into two separate Acts:

• The Government of India Act 1935, having 321 sections and 10 schedules.
• The Government of Burma Act 1935, having 159 sections and 6 schedules.

The Act led to:

• Separation of Burma from British India, effective from 1 April 1937.
• Establishment of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
• Establishment of the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC), a Provincial Public Service Commission (PPSC) in each province, and the JPSC.
• Creation of the Federal Court in 1937.
• Bicameralism in six provinces (Bombay, Madras, Bengal, Bihar, Assam and United Provinces) out of 11 provinces.
