Answer
Salaries of Sepoys
Reason — Drain of wealth refers to the transfer of India’s resources to Britain through salaries and allowances of English officials, savings of Englishmen, and military and administrative expenditure. Salaries paid to Indian sepoys remained in India and therefore were not a drain of wealth.
