Buxee is an obsolete Anglo-Indian term for a military paymaster — an official responsible for paying troops under the East India Company or Mughal/Nawabi administrations. The term appears in colonial-era military records and histories of British India. Entirely archaic, it is of interest primarily to military historians and researchers of colonial South Asia. A reminder of the extensive borrowing of administrative vocabulary that occurred under the British East India Company.
The buxee arrived at camp with the strongbox under heavy guard and began paying the sepoys their monthly allowance.
