The Dual system of Government was abolished by Warren Hastings in 1772 and Bengal was brought under direct control of the British. The Nawabs remained as the mere prisoners of the East India Company.

The system of Dual Government was introduced in Bengal by Robert Clive of British East India Company. It lasted from 1765 to 1772. Under this system, the administration of Bengal was divided into Nizamat and Diwani. The Diwani was carried out by the company and the Nizamat by the Nizam. The system was abolished by Warren Hastings in 1772 and Bengal was brought under direct control of the British and the Nawabs remained as the mere pensioners of the East India Company.

Battle of Buxar ended with the signing of Treaty of Allahabad in 1765 by Shah Alam II and Robert Clive of East India Company. It gave diwani rights or the right to collect taxes of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa to the East India Company. Tax exempt status was also restored to the company.

East India Company defeated the Nawab at Plassey in 1757 and captured Calcutta. The battle was preceded by the attack on British-controlled Calcutta by Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah  and the Black Hole massacre. The Brirish sent reinforcements under Colonel Robert Clive and Admiral Charles Watson from Madras to Bengal and recaptured Calcutta.
