Answer:
Diwani of Bengal
After the death of Mir Jafar, in 1765, the then Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II granted the Diwani rights of the provinces of Bengal to the Company. This was a major breakthrough for the Company because Diwani allowed it to use the vast revenue resources of Bengal.
From the early eighteenth century, the Company had buy most of the goods in India by paying in gold and silver which were imported from Britain. This was putting a huge drain on the treasury in Britain.
After the Battle of Plassey, the outflow of gold from Britain slowed down. This outflow completely stopped after the Company got the Diwani of Bengal.
Company Rule Expands
The Company rarely launched a direct military attack on an unknown territory. It preferred various political, economic and diplomatic methods to increase its influence before annexing an Indian kingdom.
The Company appointed Residents in Indian states. Their job was to serve and further the interests of the Company. The Residents interfered in the internal affairs of Indian states. They influenced the decisions regarding successor to the throne and appointment at key administrative posts.
Subsidiary Alliance
According to this alliance, Indian rulers were not allowed to have their independent armed forces. The Company army was to protect the Indian state but the ruler had to pay for the “subsidiary forces”. If an Indian ruler failed to make the payment, then part of his territory was taken away as penalty. For example; Awadh and Hyderabad were forced to cede territories on this ground.
