In order to embarrass Pakistan financially, India did a lot of honesty in the matters of Pakistan which were
concerned with its benefits. Pakistan was promised to get Rs. 750 million but the Indian Government
refused to give. Pakistan received only 200 million. Pakistan also did not receive the due share of the

development in every era due to the problems it faces. A very major problem that Pakistan had to face was to choose a capital to form a Government and to
establish a secretariat. Karachi was chosen as the capital of Pakistan. Quaid-e-Azam took the office of the

The country came into existence in very worst conditions. The Government of Pakistan could not get
enough time to set up workable administrative machinery because of the great difficulties created by
Congress. The Indian Government adopted delaying tactics in transferring the Government servants and
official record which aggravated the situation.

Due to this the immediate task before the nation was to establish a workable administrative and
Government machinery to run the affairs of the newly born state. The major administrative problem
facing Pakistan was the acute shortage of competent and experienced personnel in the Central and
Provincial Governments. Moreover, there weren’t enough chairs, tables or even stationary and paper pins
for administrative purposes. However, Quaid-e-Azam paid his immediate attention towards setting up of
administrative machinery and took a number of steps to overcome the administrative problems of the new
state.

When Pakistan Establish the Government of India Act 1935 became the working constitution of Pakistan
with certain adaptions. But the need of a constitution framed by the elected representatives of the people
was necessary for free people. So the first constituent assembly was formed and was given the task to
frame the constitution for the country. But the constituent assembly failed to frame a constitution even in
eight years. Lack of a permanent constitution created chances of corrupt interference in democratic
progress of Pakistan. On the other hand, the constituent assembly conferred extra ordinary powers on
Governor General which afterwards led to future constitutional Issues.
