The administration of the Company was different from that of the Indian rulers in the following ways:
- The Company divided its administrative units called Presidencies. There were three Presidencies - Bengal, Madras and Bombay. In India, districts were the main administrative units.
- Each presidency was ruled by a Governor. Districts were ruled by the Collectors.
- The supreme head of the administration of the Company was the Governor-General. But in India, the head of the administration was the king. .
- The main job of the Governor-General was to introduce administrative reforms while the main job of the Collector was to collect revenue and taxes and maintain law and order in his district.
