By the treaty of Allahabad of 1765, the East India Company obtained ________ .

  • A.Diwani Rights of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa
  • B.Trading Rights over Coromandel Coast
  • C.Right to interfere with the politics of Delhi
  • D.Acceptance by Nawab of Bengal to build a fort at Hugli

Answer: A

The Company obtained the Diwani Rights of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa.

After its victory at Buxar (1764), the East India Company under Robert Clive signed the Treaty of Allahabad in 1765 with the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, who granted it the diwani, the right to collect the land revenue of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, in return for an annual tribute.

The Company did not gain trading rights over the Coromandel coast, a right to interfere in Delhi's politics, or permission to build a fort at Hugli through this treaty.
