The period between 1947 and 1950 witnessed the consolidation of the former princely states into new provinces, usually governed by a rajpramukh, (Governor) appointed by the Governor-General of India. In 1950, the Indian constitution took effect, the office of the Governor-General was abolished, and India created several different categories of states.

The states, which were the former provinces, were ruled by an elected governor and state legislature. The states were Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Bombay, Madhya Pradesh, Madras, Orissa, Punjab, Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh.

The states were former princely states or groups of princely states, governed by a Rajpramukh. They were Hyderabad, Saurashtra, Mysore, Travancore-Cochin, Madhya Bharat, Vidhya Pradesh, Patiala and East Punjab states Union and Rajasthan.
