Tipu Sultan would release Kalopant and return [[Adoni]], [[Kittur]], and [[Nargund]] to their previous rulers. Badami would be ceded to the Marathas. In return, Tipu would get all the places he had captured in the war, including Gajendragarh and [[Dharwad|Dharwar]]. Tipu would also be addressed by the Marathas by an honorary title of "Nabob Tipu Sultan, Fateh Ali Khan".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hasan|first=Mohibbul|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hkbJ6xA1_jEC&pg=PA105|title=History of Tipu Sultan|date=2005|publisher=Aakar Books|isbn=978-81-87879-57-2|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Sen|first=Sailendra Nath|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y-kanqrtVhYC&pg=PA59|title=Anglo-Maratha Relations, 1785-96|date=1994|publisher=Popular Prakashan|isbn=978-81-7154-789-0|language=en}}</ref>.
