1. Land revenue policy under the British

During the British era, Diwani was the grant to collect the revenue of the territory. As Diwan, the British East India Company became the chief financial executive of the region under its control. Now it had to think of administering the land and regulating its revenue. This had to be done to yield enough revenue to meet the increasing expenses of the Company. Most Company officials started to feel that investment in the land had to be strengthened and agriculture had to be developed.

 

British Government introduced three significant land revenue systems in India: the Permanent Settlement, the Mahalwari system, and the Ryotwari system. However, the economic exploitation of the peasants led to the revolt in future.
