Explanation:

The main features of mahalwari system. Features of Mahalwari system: Collectors went from village to village, inspecting the land,measuring the feilds and recording customs and rights of different groups. Revenue was not fixed,rather revised periodically.

MAHALWARI SYSTEM (1822) The British introduced this system in the Gangetic valley, the North-West prov­inces, parts of central India and Punjab. Under this system, the revenue was determined on the basis of assessment of the produce of a Mahal (estate consisting of several villages). Here the settlement was made with the whole village community jointly and separately. While the ownership rights were vested with the individual peasants, the respon­sibility of payment of land revenue of the Company rested jointly with the village community. This system rather than protecting the peasants increased the social inequalities and proved economically disastrous.
