Charles Zinzan became the Acting Deputy Governor of Bombay Presidency from the year 1684 to 1686. He was appointed as a gubernatorial official under the subordination of the governor of the presidency of Bombay. He was also a notable colonial administrator in British India. Zinzan was preceded by Sir Charles Ward as the Deputy Governor of Bombay from 1682 to 1683. When the control of the headquarters of the British East India Company was transferred to the Bombay province, the necessity for the Deputy Governor was generically eradicated. In spite of the alteration, the title was assumed by the second official of the Executive Council of the Governor of the presidency. But the title was disused from the year 1720 and 1758.
Charles Zinzan was appointed in the position on 19 November 1684. Bombay Presidency was one of the three main Presidencies in British India, including Bengal Presidency and Madras Presidency. It was originally established in the 17th century at Surat as a trading post for the British East India Company. The province included the territories of modern states of Kandesh and Desh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, regions of Konkan and northwestern Karnataka state. The esrtwhile British province was under the direct rule of the British administration.

However, Bombay Presidency supervised the defence of several native states and also managed the relationship of the rulers of the princely states with the British authorities. Zinzan served in office as the Acting Deputy Governor till the year 1685. He succeeded by John Wyborne, who held office from 1686 to 1688. Charles Zinzan died in the year 1714.
