Answer:
On 12 August 1765, the Mughal emperor appointed the East India Company as the Diwan of Bengal. The actual event most probably took place in Robert Clive's tent, with a few Englishmen and Indians as witnesses. As Diwan, the Company became the chief financial administrator of the territory under its control.
