A system of taxation where land revenue was collected from Indian farmers by the British government.
The revenue system was based on the Permanent Settlement Act of 1793, which fixed the land revenue to be paid by the farmers.
Under this system, the land revenue was levied on the basis of the productivity of the land, rather than on the income or profits of the farmers.
Farmers were often burdened with high taxes, leading to widespread poverty and indebtedness.
