Answer
British India was to be partitioned into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan. The provincial legislatures of Bengal and Punjab were to meet in two parts to decide on the partition of those provinces, and a referendum was to be held in the North-West Frontier Province and Sylhet. The princely states were to be free to join either dominion, and a Boundary Commission was to demarcate the frontier.
