Carnatic Treaty

The Carnatic Treaty was signed on 26 July 1801. It is a treaty between the Nawab of Arcot. It is one of the treaties by which the British Empire acquired its rule over the Indian subcontinent or British India.[1]

Consequences

Based on the terms of the treaty, the Nawab of Arcot (sometimes called the Nawab of the Carnatic) ceded all his lands to British rule, including the territory of the polygars. He was retained one-fifth of the revenues of the country, amounting to 12 lakhs p.a in exchange.
