list three features of parmanent settlement
Answers
Answer:
Landlords or Zamindars were recognised as the owners of the land.
They were given hereditary rights of succession of the lands under them.
The amount to be paid by the landlords was fixed.
It was agreed that this would not increase in future (permanent in nature).
The fixed amount was 10/11th portion of the revenue for the government and 1/10th was for the Zamindar.
The Zamindar also had to give the tenant a patta which described the area of the land given to him and the rent he had to pay the landlord.
Zamindars being sons of the soil, it was thought that they could reach the far corners of the region and also understand local customs very well.
Because of the permanent nature of the system, there was a sense of security for everyone.
The company knew the amount it would get in revenue. The landlord also was assured of the amount.
Finally, the farmers also, in lieu of the patta were certain of their holdings and knew how much rent was to be paid.
Since the settlement was of a permanent nature, the Zamindars would have an interest in the improvement in the land thereby improving the revenue

the permanent settlement system was a land revenue system introduced in 1793 by East India company. Rajas and Taluqdars were recognised as zamindars to collect rent from peasants and pay revenue to the company.
the main features of permanent settlement system are:
- the amount paid by the zamindars to the company was fixed permanently.
- the rajas were made the zamindars.
- zamindars lost their rights over the lands whenever they failed to make payments to the company.
- exorbitant price of land revenue which zamindars had to pay to the company (which they failed).
