I'm not sure how the English Commenweath works, but why didn't India sign like New Zealand, Canada, and Australia?

They did not have self rule yet in 1945. They were still working towards it.

India didn't gain its own country status until 1947, I think it was. Australian "Federation" was in 1902. I'm not sure about the date for NZ.
