Indentured servants in East India primarily came from the regions of Bihar, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh. These individuals were often recruited to work on plantations in places like the Caribbean, Mauritius, and Fiji during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Economic hardship and limited opportunities at home drove many to seek work abroad under indenture contracts. This system was a response to the labor shortages following the abolition of slavery.
The paid servants of the East India Company were known as "Company servants" or "Company officials." These individuals were employed by the Company to manage its operations in India, including trade, administration, and governance. They played crucial roles in the expansion of British influence in the region, often serving in various capacities such as clerks, accountants, and officers. Their actions significantly impacted the socio-economic landscape of India during the period of British colonial rule.

One explanation is that this comes from a "lass and a lakh a day" - a lakh being 100,000 rupees. This indicated the lavish lifestyle of white 'servants' (i.e. employees) of the English East India Company in Bengal, in the 18th century.
