16 August 1765

The Treaty of Allahabad (16 August 1765) between Robert Clive and John Carnac for the East India Company and Nawab Sujah al-Dowlah establishes perpetual peace, military alliance, and commercial privileges. The treaty confirms EIC territorial gains, grants duty-free trade rights throughout the Nawab's dominions, and obligates financial compensation of 50 lacs of rupees to the Company. This document provides crucial context for understanding EIC financial power and commercial interests contemporaneous with the 1765 Revestment negotiations.
