subsidiary alliance??

Dear Student,
The answer to your question is as follows

The
British gained both territorially and financially through the
system of subsidiary alliance The Indian rulers who entered into
subsidiary alliance were not allowed to have their own army The
East India Company maintained subsidiary forces on the behalf of
these rulers and sought payment from them for the same through
their Residents Failure to make the payment resulted in a portion
of their territory being taken away by the British Thus, it led to
revenues for the Company as well as annexation of large
territories
Hope this resolves your
query
Cheers
