Subsidiary Alliance

The Subsidiary Alliance was devised by Lord Wellesley. Under the Subsidiary Alliance, the ruler of a state was provided with military security. Once provided with military security, the princely states could remain independent so far as internal matters were concerned but they could not exert their independence outside of the state. The British Company's Resident was kept in the court of the Indian king and the princely states had to pay an annual amount towards the cost of the Resident. The Indian ruler could not employ any European for his service without prior approval of the British. The Indian ruler also could not negotiate with any other Indian ruler without consulting the Governor-General. Under the Subsidiary Alliance, Hyderabad (1798), Mysore (1799), Peshwa (1802), Bhonsle and Scindia (1803), Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaipur (1818) came under the British.
