1. Surrender of Allahabad and Kara: The Nawab had to cede the strategically important cities of Allahabad and Kara to the Mughal emperor. However, these territories would eventually come under British control through later agreements.

2. War Indemnity: The Nawab was forced to pay a hefty sum of rupees 50 lakh (5 million) to the East India Company as compensation for war expenses. This significantly burdened the Nawab's treasury.
