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.
