doctrine of lapse
According to this policy, if an Indian ruler died without a male heir his kingdom would “lapse” and would become a part of the Company territory. Many kingdoms were annexed by using this doctrine, e.g. Satara (1848), Sambalpur (1850), Udaipur (1852), Nagpur (1853) and Jhansi (1854).
policy of Paramountcy
Governor General Lord Hastings (1813-1823) initiated a new policy of paramountcy. According to this policy, the Company claimed that its authority was paramount or supreme. It could annex or threaten to annex any Indian kingdom to protect its interests. The later British policies were guided by this policy.
