The Charter Act of 1833 was indeed a significant step towards centralization in British India, as it aimed to overhaul the Company's governance structure.

The act did not end the commercial functions of the East India Company; rather, it continued to engage in trade, although certain monopolies were removed.

The system of open competition for the selection of civil servants was not introduced by the Charter Act of 1833. It was the Charter Act of 1853 that introduced competitive examinations for the selection of civil servants.
