Upon the death of his father on 19 November 1930, he succeeded him as the Nawab of Sachin.[5] He was invested with ruling powers on 5 February 1931 by the Political Agent on two conditions: firstly, that for a period of two years, his Diwan would be appointed with the approval of the Government; and secondly, that in all important matters of State policy, he would abide by the advice of the Political Agent.[6] He acceded Sachin to the Dominion of India in August 1947.[7]
His summer capital was located in the seaside town of Dumas, on the Western Coast of Gujarat just 10 miles from Surat. It was the only such town on the Western Coast reportedly having well road connectivity with the Grand Trunk Road and also equipped with telephone lines and other communications.[8]
