'''Madras Legislative Council''' was expanded by the Indian Councils Act of 1892. The Act increased the number of additional members of the Council to a maximum of 20, of whom not more than nine had to be officials. The Act introduced the method of election for the Council, but did not mention word "election" explicitly. The elected members were officially called as "nominated" members and their method of election was described as "recommendation". Such "recommendations" were made by district boards, universities, municipalities and other associations. The term of the members was fixed at two years. The Council could also discuss the annual financial statement and ask questions subject to certain limitations.<ref name="tnassembly">{{Cite web|url=http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/history/history.htm |title=The State Legislature – Origin and Evolution |accessdate=17 December 2009 |publisher=[[Tamil Nadu]] Government |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100413233934/http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/history/history.htm |archivedate=13 April 2010 }}</ref> Thirty eight Indian members were "nominated" in the eight elections during 1893–1909 when this Act was in effect. [[C. Jambulingam Mudaliar]], [[N. Subba Rao Pantulu]], [[P. Kesava Pillai]] and [[C. Vijayaraghavachariar]] representing southern group of district boards, [[Kruthiventi Perraju Pantulu]] of the northern group of municipalities, [[C. Sankaran Nair]] and [[P. Rangaiah Naidu]] from the Corporation of Madras and [[P. S. Sivaswami Iyer]], [[V. Krishnaswamy Iyer]] and [[M. Krishnan Nair (politician)|M. Krishnan Nair]] from the University of Madras were some of the active members.<ref name="Krishnaswamy"/> However, over a period of time, representation by Indian members dwindled, for example, the position of Bashyam Iyengar and Sankaran Nayar in 1902 was occupied by [[G L Acworth]] and Sir [[G. M. J. Moore]].<ref name="Krishnaswamy">{{Cite book| title=The role of Madras Legislature in the freedom struggle, 1861–1947| author=S. Krishnaswamy| year=1989| pages=5–70| publisher=People's Pub.
