In 1765, the Mughal emperor appointed the East India Company as the Diwan of Bengal. The Diwani allowed the Company to use the vast revenue resources of Bengal. This solved a major problem of the Company. From the early lSth century its trade with India had expanded. But it had to buy most of the goods in India with gold and silver imported from Britain. This was because at this time Britain had no goods to sell in India. 
The outflow of gold from Britain slowed after the battle of Plassey and entirely stopped after the assumption ofDiwani. Now, revenues could be used to purchase cotton and silk textiles in India, maintain Company troops and meet the cost of building the Company fort and offices at Calcutta.
