Answer 2

$\textbf{ The Ryotwari System }$

A different system of revenue collection, called the Ryotwari System, was introduced in the Madras and Bombay presidencies between 1792 and 1827. The middlemen or the zamindars were removed. The settlement was made directly between the Company and the ryot or the cultivator, who paid the government about half the value of the crop. The revenue amount was revised after 20 or 30 years depending on the fertility of the soil. Revenue from more fertile areas was revised more frequently.

This system give more security to the ryots. But because of the rigidity of the revenue collection, farmers had to turn to moneylenders during years when the crops failed.

$\textbf{ The Mahalwar System }$


The Mahalwari System existed in parts of Uttar Pradesh, parts of Central India, the North-west Province and parts of the Punjab. In this system, the settlement was made between landlords, or heads of families, claiming to represent the entire village community of groups of villages (known as mahal), and the government. The landlords or heads of family were jointly responsible for the payment of the revenue to the Company. Here too the revenue was fixed for a period of 20-30 years, after which it was revised.
