Abstract: Abstract In regard to the British Indian public expenditure, the conclusion of the study was that no significant liability arose for the princely states. But the government of British India still exacted revenues out of the states, ‘the indirect and uncovenanted contributions’ (The British Crown, 1929, p. 183), through its taxes, monopoly price policies and profits on currency and mints. To the extent that the states were making these contributions without being liable, there was taking place a net transfer of resources from Princely India to British India. The ‘peoples of Indian States are at present subjected to a considerable burden of taxation for which they receive no return and for which there can be no justification’ (The British Crown, 1929, p. 215).
