The Poona Pact refers to an agreement between B. R. Ambedkar on behalf of Depressed class and caste Hindu leaders on the reservation of electoral seats for the depressed classes in the legislature of British India government.

The main features of "Poona Pact" were:

  1. At the second Round Table conference, Dr. BR Ambedkar demanded separate electorates for Dalits.
  2. When the British conceded Dr. Ambedkar’s demand, Gandhiji, who was opposed to this, went on a fast unto death. 
  3. Ambedkar ultimately accepted Gandhiji’s position by signing a pact in 1932, known as the Poona Pact. 
  4. The Poona Pact (September 1932) gave Depressed Classes (later to be known as Scheduled Caste) reserved seats in provincial and central legislative councils.
