Detailed Solution

The British secured the submission of the rebel landowners in Awadh by granting inheritance rights, exempting them from taxes and incentivising them during the Revolt of 1857. Taxes weren't due on them. They received prizes. They would be protected, and their claims and rights would not be rejected. An incentive for devoted landowners was announced. They received assurances that their ability to exercise traditional rights over their lands would be preserved. People who had rebelled were assured that their rights and claims to land would not be denied provided they submitted to the British and had not killed any white people.
