Muhammad Munawar Khan was the nephew of Intizam-ul-Mulk, the third Prince of Arcot, and succeeded his uncle in May 1889.

He was exempted from appearing in civil courts. Khan ruled until his death in early 1903, in Delhi while attending the 1903 Delhi Durbar to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VII. He was buried in Madras.
