HEYA!!
System of subsidiary alliance tells us that indian kings were not allowed to maintain their own army instead East India company would provide an army for them for which they should pay subsidiary forces.
East India company would keep a person to look after the decisions taken in the court
If the king fails to pay subsidiary forces then a part of his territory was to be taken away as penalty
Example: The nawab of awadh had to give away a part of his territory..
Hyderabad was also taken away in the same way..
HOPE IT HELPS.....
HAVE A GREAT DAY.....☺☺✌

Hey there!
Subsidiary Alliance System:
- The Subsidiary Alliance system of doctrine was introduced by Lord Richard Wellesley from 1798 to 1805.
According to it:
♦ Any Indian ruler accepting the subsidiary alliance with East India Company had to keep the British Army within their territory and was supposed to pay for its maintenance.
♦ In lieu of the payments, some of the states territory was ceded to the British.
♦ The ruler accepting it was forced to keep a British official at the court called 'Resident'.
♦ The states brought under British control by this system included Hyderabad, Gwalior, Indore, Jaipur, Jodhpur , Oudh.
