The Nawab assigned the revenue of the Carnatic should be under management and under control of Nawab during the war with Mysore Sultan according to the provision of a treaty signed in 1781. From the total revenue one-sixth of the revenue was for Nawab and his family. And thus, the Company got right to collect taxes from Panchalamkurichi. Collectors were appointed from the Company but the Collectors humiliated the palayakkarars and used force to collect taxes. It was the bone of contention between the Kattabomman and the British. After that Kattabomman met Jackson in Ramanathapurm, after sensing danger he and his minister Sivasubramanianar were tried to get out and when they were at the door of the fort Oomaithurai came with his men and helped Kattabomman to escape.
