In conformity with the Peshwa's will, Nana Saheb was the putative successor to the Maratha throne by adoption and eligible for his foster father's continuing pension of £80,000 from the East India Company.
- The Company, though, stopped the pension after the death of Baji Rao II on the basis that the Nana wasn't a native-born heir and that the kingdom had ended its existence.
- Although immensely wealthy, the Nana was deeply offended by the suspensions of various titles and gifts that Baji Rao had kept while in exile as well as the cessation of the annuity.
- As a result, Nana Saheb sent Azimullah Khan as an emissary to England in 1853 to present his case to the British authorities.
- Azimullah Khan returned to India around 1855 after trying to convince the British to restore the pension.
