According to what I have understood, the main reasons for the moghuls handing over the administration of vast territories, (larger than England, Wales and Scotland combined), to the English East India Company was its inability to govern because:
1) The cost of incessant wars undertaken by the moghuls had depleted the imperial treasury reserves tremendously,
2) The previously annexed vassal states (especially of the Maratha Confederacy kingdoms) were trying to break away from the Moghul Empire and were not paying taxes regularly.
Now, to answer the question in a little more detail, a brief introduction on the Moghul system of adminstration and governance is in order. Right from the time of Akbar, after winning a war, the Mughuls would not physically occupy the land or invariably appoint their own govermors. Often they would allow the existing vanquished kings to continue to rule their territories, as before, but they had to buy peace and security by paying a tribute or tax to the moghul.
By the time of Aurangzeb's rule, the moghuls found themselves in a quandry. They neither had monetary reserves to fight wars that were necessary to consolidate their empire on the one hand and nor were the steady streams of taxes coming in, like before, to replenish the treasury, on the other. So, one way out of this dilemma was to appoint another entity to administer and also collect the taxes due. This is precisely what the moghuls did. They delegated the powers and authority of the moghul emperor to the English East India Company so that they could live a life of indulgence in other preoccupations whilst the Company did their administrative work for them for a share in the tax collection in return.
In modern parlance it would probably be called outsourcing. The main difference is that nowadays outsourcing is happily resorted to by commercial companies and have limited scope and objectives. But here things were different. Here complete administrative, military and financial authority and power (including for customs and other taxes) were unfortunately handed over by a sovereign emperor to a diminutive, newly formed foreign company who promptly set about creating a colonial empire out of this privilege.
That, in fact, is the main reason why The English East India Company was entitled to foreign trade within the moghul empire without the intervention of moghul customs. This was, of course, just one amongst so many other privileges that were stated or, later, simply assumed or usurped.
Answer:
After Bengal, the English seemed to be the right of duty-free trade in dominion of the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb.
Explanation:
He issued a farman or legal document promising and allowing the English company to firmly establish their roots in India in the name of trade. At that time, India is full of silk, cotton and spices, which was brought by the Englishmen at cheap rates and they sold them out at higher prices. When Aurangzeb died, they were not able to get the products exchanged and that lead to further devastating results in the form of war.
