Solution
The Boundary Commission was proposed in the Mountbatten Plan to demarcate the boundaries between India and Pakistan in provinces that were to be partitioned, specifically Punjab and Bengal.
It was necessary to ensure that the division was based on religious majorities, and to decide which areas would go to India and which to Pakistan, as these provinces had mixed populations of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs.
