The East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act 1873 (
British East India Company
.
The act was one of the
East India Loans Acts 1859 to 1893.[2]
By the time of the act's passing, the British East India Company had already effectively ceased to exist. The company's governmental responsibilities were transferred to the Crown and its liquidation was set in motion by the Government of India Act 1858.[3] The company's 240,000-man military force had also been transferred to the authority of the Crown (subsequently being incorporated into the British Indian Army), significantly reducing its influence.
