 The Charter Act of 1793

● The Act renewed the Company’s commercial privileges for next 20 years.

● The Company, after paying the necessary expenses, interest, dividends, salaries, etc., from

the Indian revenues, was to pay 5 lakh pounds annually to the British government.

● The royal approval was mandated for the appointment of the governor-general, the

● The revenue administration was separated from the judiciary functions and this led

to disappearing of the Maal Adalats.
