Following the British victory Siraj ud-Daulah was overthrown and replaced by his uncle Mir Jafar who initiated pro-British policies.

Hastings personally sympathised with Mir Jafar and believed many of the demands placed on him by the Company were excessive.

As he grew older Mir Jafar was gradually less able to rule the state, and in 1760 British troops ousted him from power and replaced him with Mir Qasim.

Hastings expressed his doubts to Calcutta over the move, believing they were honour bound to support Mir Jafar, but his opinions were overuled.

With Admiral Watson, Governor Drake and Mr. Watts, Clive made a gentlemen's agreement in which it was agreed to give the office of viceroy of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa to Mir Jafar, who was to pay a million sterling to the Company for its losses in Calcutta and the cost of its troops, half a million to the British inhabitants of Calcutta, £ 200, 000 to the native inhabitants, and £ 70, 000 to its Armenian merchants.

Clive employed Umichand, a rich Bengali trader, as an agent between Mir Jafar and the British officials.

Mir Jafar further discharged his debt to Clive by afterwards presenting him with the quit-rent of the Company's lands in and around Calcutta, amounting to an annuity of £ 27, 000 for life, and leaving him by will the sum of £ 70, 000, which Clive devoted to the army.

In the year 1760 after gaining control over Bihar, Orissa and some parts of the Bengal, the Mughal Crown Prince Ali Gauhar and his Mughal Army of 30, 000 intended to overthrow Mir Jafar and the Company in order to reconquer the riches of the Eastern Subah's for the Mughal Empire.

Mir Jafar was fraught in terror at the near demise of his cohort and sent his own son Miran to relieve Ramnarian and retake Patna.

Mir Jafar also implored the aid of Robert Clive, but it was Major John Caillaud, who defeated Prince Ali Gauhar's army and dispersed it.

Mir Jafar was compelled to engage in extortion on a vast scale in order to replenish his treasury, which had been emptied by the Company's demand for an indemnity of 2. 8 crores of rupees (£ 3 million ).

Mir Jafar had finally rebelled over payments to English officials, and Clive's successor had put Kasim Ali Khan, Mir Jafar's son-in-law upon the musnud ( throne ).

On 3 May 1765 Clive landed at Calcutta to learn that Mir Jafar had died, leaving him personally £ 70, 000.
