Zamindari System

Zamindari System (Permanent Settlement) was introduced in Bengal, Bihar, Orissa and districts of Banaras and northern districts of Madras by Lord Cornwallis in 1793.John Shore planned the permanent Settlement, who later succeeded Cornwallis as Governor General.It declared Zamindars as the owners of the land. Hence, they could keep 1/11th of the revenue collected. The Zamindars were free to fix the rents.Assured of their ownership, many Zamindars stayed in towns (absentee landlordism) and exploited their tenants.
