how did famar pay land revenue?
Answers
Explanation:
Because most farmers are land owners, they pay land taxes to both their county and to the school district where the property is located. They also pay income taxes. Farmers are self-employed business owners so the way they file their taxes is a little more complicated than the average household.

vi) The government had the power to sell the land.
vii) All land conflicts had to be resolved through the courts.
viii) Mahaldars collected extra taxes and mistreated farmers under the Mahalwari system.

The effects of a British emperor's land revenue settlements -
The revenue was fixed at a fairly high rate in all of these land revenue regimes. The Company set the income so high in the Permanent Settlement that it became difficult for zamindars to pay revenues to the Company. The people were oppressed by the settlement because they had to pay hefty rent to the zamindars. Their land rights were protected until they paid the taxes. They had to borrow money from moneylenders at exorbitant interest rates to pay for the high land revenues. Cultivators were expelled from the farms that they had been cultivating for generations after failing to pay the hefty rent. Most peasants were unable to pay the revenues in other land taxation schemes as well and hence lost their lands.
