What were the main proposals of the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946?

The Mission rejected the demand for a separate Pakistan and proposed instead a federal union of British India and the princely states, with the centre controlling defence, foreign affairs and communications. The provinces were to be grouped into three sections, and a Constituent Assembly was to be elected to frame the Constitution, with an interim government in the meantime.

Explanation

Both the Congress and the League accepted it at first, but disagreement over the grouping of provinces broke it down.
