<br />
He was the third son of [[Mir Jafar]] by [[Munni Begum (noble)|Munny Begum]]. He was only seventeen when he was crowned as the Nawab. He reigned under the regency of his mother and died of smallpox on March 10, 1770 during the [[Great Bengal famine of 1770]].<br />

==Life==<br />
<br />
===Early life===<br />
After the death of [[Najimuddin Ali Khan]], his younger brother Najabat Ali Khan, better known as Saif ud-Daulah, succeeded him and was placed on the ''Masnad'' (throne) at the age of 17. The management developed upon his mother, Munny Begum. On May 19, 1766 a treaty was concluded in which the [[East India Company]] was to pay him the reduced stipend of {{Indian Rupees}}41,86,131 and 9 Anas ({{Indian Rupees}}1=12 Anas), namely {{Indian Rupees}}17,78,854 and 1 Ana for the Nawab's household and {{Indian Rupees}} 24,07,277 and 8 Anas for the support of the ''Nizamat''.<br />
<br />
===Later years===<br />
Saif ud-Daulah was formally installed on the Khahar Balish, at [[Murshidabad]] Fort on May 22, 1766 which was confirmed by [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Shah Alam II]] on June 27, 1766. However real authority passed into the chamber of the Directors in [[London]] who considered that the [[Nawab]] and the Government's dignity still resided in the Nawab and his ministers.<br />
<br />
===Death and succession===<br />
In [[1770]], during [[Bengal famine of 1770]], a great epidemic of [[small pox]] raged in [[Murshidabad]] and killing 63,000 of its inhabitants, one of them being Nawab Nazim Saif ud-Daulah, himself. He died on March 10, 1770. His mortal remains lie in the [[Jafarganj Cemetery]] in Murshidabad.<br />
<br />
He was succeeded by his half-brother, [[Ashraf Ali Khan|Nawab Nazim Ashraf Ali Khan]] as the next Nawab.<br />
