Question

describe Akbar's system of revenue collection

Answer 1

Akbar's land revenue policy was framed by Raja Todar mal. It was based on Sher Shah's land revenue system. Each peasant's land was measured and its yield assessed. Todar mal calculated the state 's share of each crop through the zabt system. According to this system, data regarding the area cultivated, actual produce and local prices was collected for each crop for ten years (1570-1580) . The average produce and the price of each crop over these ten years was calculated. The state's share was then fixed at about one - third of the average produce. Revenue could be paid in cash or kind. Farmers could get loans from the state.
The zabt system was applied in the provinces lying between Lahore and Allahabad , and in Malwa and parts of Gujarat. These provinces were divided into revenue circles, and separate revenue rates were fixed for different circles. During Shah Jahah's reign the zabt system was extended to the Deccan provinces.
In the second half of the seventeenth century, Mughal revenue demands increased considerably and the Mughal officers became oppressive. As a result, there were frequent peasant uprising in both North India and the Deccan.
