Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Bengal Nawabs accused the Company of lying and said that it had started withholding significant amounts of sales from the Bengal authorities while also undermining their authority and treating them with disrespect. Likewise, the Company experienced issues with the Nawabs. It was believed that the needs of the Nawabs had been unfairly treated and that if the obligations were lifted, their trade would benefit greatly. The Company wished to fortify itself and build forts. Conflicts between the Company and the Bengal Nawabs resulted from all of this.
Due to this, the Bengal nawabs and the East India Company have been at war in the following areas:
1)      The Bengal Nawabs frequently rejected the East India Company's requests for concessions.
2)      They wanted exorbitant tributes to conduct the Company's proper exchange.
3)      They refused to give the Company any property, so it couldn't generate revenue.
4)      They prevented the Company from strengthening its defences.
5)      The Company denied paying taxes.
6)      The corporate officers degraded and insulted the nawabs in letters they wrote.
The correct statement is that the Bengal Nawabs and the East India Company were at war.
