Surplus and Public Revenue in India Debated
Debates on the Bengal revenue show a measured surplus near two million pounds after deductions for abolition of the Government Customs and other expenses. Lord Cornwallis’s letters and Dundas’s figures are scrutinized, with emphasis on debt payments, investments, and military costs in India. The House considers the logic of the budget and the risks to revenue from Bengal, Oude, and Be garis. The report moves to bring up the committee's findings on Monday.
