Cornwalis resorted to Permanent Settlement for the good of the farmers. When Cornwallis arrived in India, the land revenue system was as follows:

1. The farmers had to pay cultivation tax to the Government.

2. The system of annual settlement was in Vogue.

Hastings had introduced the Five-Year Settlement according to which the right of realisation of tax was given to the highest bidder for five years on contract basis.

But there was a great problem in this system in as much as that at the time of auction, the contractors to make such a high bid, that they failed to deposit the amount of the bid in tie royal treasury.
