The Policy of Paramountacy - Kitoor, Sind, Punjab

Explanation:

Subsidiary Alliance - It was devised by Lord Wellesley only for arrangement between the Company and the Rulers that authorized the British to engage in Kingdom's internal affairs which their rulers were forced to disband their own armies and pay the Company's upkeep charges. So, consequently, they lost control over foreigners as well as a military force.

Doctrine of Lapse - It was devised by Lord Dalhousie that the annexation policies of the British East India Company were the expansion of the realm of the British Empire in India. Under this rule, it abolished the adoption of an heir in a particular kingdom on a specific condition. If any ruler were not able to have a son as heir, that kingdom will automatically and diplomatically be handed over to the British Kingdom.  

Direct Conquest - When the English East India Company's men led by Robert Clive and Major Hector Munro firstly defeated Siraj-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal, at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and Buxar in 1764, this marked the beginning of British political authority in India.

The English also proclaimed Mir Jafar the Nawab of Bengal as a result of the Battle of Plassey and set out to collect the reward, which was the company's unquestioned right to free trade throughout Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa.

The Policy of Paramountacy - It was devised by Lord Hastings which enabled the Britishers to claim that the company was paramount and supreme and in order to protect its interests, they will have a right to annex and threaten any Indian states and kingdoms.
