The Court of Directors assigned a <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Four_(India)" class="mw-redirect" title="Council of Four (India)">Council of Four</a> (based in India) to assist the Governor-General, and the decision of the council was binding on the Governor-General during 1773–1784. </p><p>The charter Act 1833 re-designated the office with the title of <a href="/wiki/Governor-General_of_India" title="Governor-General of India">Governor-General of India</a>. <a href="/wiki/Lord_William_Bentinck" title="Lord William Bentinck">William Bentinck</a> was the first to be designated as the Governor-general of India in 1833. </p><p>After the <a href="/wiki/Indian_Rebellion_of_1857" title="Indian Rebellion of 1857">Indian Rebellion of 1857</a>, the company rule was brought to an end, but the <a href="/wiki/British_Raj" title="British Raj">British India</a> along with <a href="/wiki/Princely_state" title="Princely state">princely states</a> came under the direct rule of the British Crown. The <a href="/wiki/Government_of_India_Act_1858" title="Government of India Act 1858">Government of India Act 1858</a> created the office of <b><a href="/wiki/Secretary_of_State_for_India" title="Secretary of State for India">Secretary of State for India</a></b> in 1858 to oversee the affairs of India, which was advised by a new Council of India with 15 members (based in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>). The existing <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Four_(India)" class="mw-redirect" title="Council of Four (India)">Council of Four</a> was formally renamed as the Council of Governor-General of India or Executive Council of India. The Council of India was later abolished by <a href="/wiki/Government_of_India_Act_1935" title="Government of India Act 1935">Government of India Act 1935</a>. </p><p>Following the adoption of the Government of India Act of 1858, the Governor-General representing the Crown became known as the <a href="/wiki/Viceroy" title="Viceroy">Viceroy</a>. The designation 'Viceroy', although it was most frequently used in ordinary parlance, had no statutory authority, and was never employed by Parliament. Although the Proclamation of 1858 announcing the assumption of the government of India by the Crown referred to <a href="/wiki/Charles_Canning,_1st_Earl_Canning" title="Charles Canning, 1st Earl Canning">Lord Canning</a> as "first Viceroy and Governor-General", none of the Warrants appointing his successors referred to them as 'Viceroys', and the title, which was frequently used in Warrants dealing with precedence and in public notifications, was one of ceremonies used in connection with the state and social functions of the Sovereign's representative. The Governor-General continued to be the sole representative of the Crown, and the Government of India continued to be vested in the appointments of Governor-General of India which were made by the British Crown upon the advice of <b><a href="/wiki/Secretary_of_State_for_India" title="Secretary of State for India">Secretary of State for India</a></b>.
