The British occupation of Orissa in 1803 created a new chapter in the history of Orissa. Their administration brought far reaching changes in the life style of people of Orissa. Orissa was divided into three administrative units and the province of Cuttack was under Bengal Presidency. Cuttack became the seat of Commissioner, who became the Superintendent of Tributary States. During British Raj Banki belonged to the Cuttack States and a princely State of Orissa. Braja Behari Srichandan ruled here from 4779 to 1813 AD who was succeeded by his son Pitambar Srichandan (1813-1828) who died heirless in 1828. Now, Jagannath Srichandan Mohapatra, the adopted son of Pitambar Srichandan succeeded the throne of Banki, who ruled from 1828 to 1838 A.D.
