Q. In which year the administration of India was transferred into the hands of the British Monarch by the Proclamation of Queen Victoria?
Answer: 1858
Notes: Under the Government of India Act 1858, the control of the British government in India was transferred to the British crown. Its provisions called for the liquidation of the British East India Company (who had up to this point been ruling British India under the auspices of Parliament) and the transference of its functions to the British Crown.
