Detailed Solution

'Subsidiary Alliance' was formulated by Lord Wellesley
Lord Wellesley created a subsidiary alliance under which British security was granted to Indian kingdoms in exchange for their agreement to support British forces on their territory and at their own expense. It involved the subsequent steps:

The East India Company gave Indian states military support by forming an alliance.

The Company forced the signatory Indian states to agree to the permanent stationing of the British military and a Resident.
