== Ministers ==
The Provisional Government of Free India consisted of a Cabinet headed by [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] as the Head of the State, The Prime Minister and the Minister for War and Foreign Affairs.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}}

Captain Dr. [[Lakshmi Swaminadhan]] (later married as [[Lakshmi Sahgal]]) was the Minister in Charge of Women's Organization. She held this position over and above her command of the Rani Jhansi Regiment, a brigade of women soldiers fighting for the Indian National Army. For a regular Asian army, this women's regiment was quite visionary; it was the first of its kind established on the continent. Lakshmi was one of the most popular and prosperous gynaecologists in [[Singapore]] before she gave up her practice to lead the troops of the [[Rani of Jhansi Regiment]].

Other public administration ministers of the Provisional Government of Free India included:
* [[Lakshmi Swaminadhan]] – The Minister in Charge of Women's Organization
* [[S. A. Ayer]] – The Minister of Broadcasting and Publicity
* Lt. Col. A. C. Chatterji – The Minister of Finance

The Indian National Army was represented by Armed Forces ministers, including:
* Lt. Col.

* Lt. Col. [[M. Z. Kiani]]
* Lt. Col. [[A. D. Loganathan]]
* Lt. Col. Ehsan Qadir
* Lt. Col. [[Shah Nawaz Khan (general)|Shahnawaz Khan]]

The Provisional Government was also constituted and administered by a number of Secretaries and Advisors to Subhas Chandra Bose, including:
* Capt. Dilip Singh Siwach
* A. M. Sahay – Secretary
* [[Karim Ghani]]
* Debnath Das
* D. M. Khan
* A. Yellapa
* [[J. Thivy]]
* Sardar Ishar Singh Narula
* A. N. Sarkar – the government's official Legal Advisor

All of these Secretaries and Advisory officials held Ministerial rank in the Provisional Government. The extent of the Provisional Government's day-to-day management of affairs for Azad Hind is not entirely well-documented, so their specific functions as government officials for the state outside their positions as support ministers for Subhas Chandra Bose is not entirely certain.
