Explanation

Mughal officials had already been losing land and wealth as British power expanded. The Sepoy Rebellion took place in 1857, and its aftermath led the East India Company to lose control of India. In 1858, the British Crown began ruling directly, forming the British raj, so the order is Mughal officials lose land and wealth, rebellion, Company loses control, then British raj.
