Throw light on the Agrarian System or the Zabti System in full detail
Answers
Answer:
The Dahsala or Zabti System was introduced under the reign of Akbar in the year 1580-82 in order to put a check on the problems that were arising due to fixing prices each year and revenue settlement of the last year.
This system was basically developed by Raja Todarmal who was the finance minister at that time during Mugal Empire in India.
Under the Dahsala or Zabti System, there was no ten years settlement on the crops.
In fact the settlement was based on the average prices and produces during the last ten years.
1/3rd share of the average crop production was apportioned to the state.
This system was basically in practice during Shershah Suri but was honed perfectly during Akbar’s reign.
The system prevailed from Allahabad to Lahore and in the provinces of Gujrat and Malwa.
It is to be noted that the system of land revenue became very popular and continued for a very long time.
The crops yields and the prices for a continuous period of 10 years was comprehended and analyzed properly.
A comprehensive survey was undertaken and on the basis of which a fixed amount of tax was levied on each crop all in cash money.
Provinces were sub divided into dastur or revenue circles with own revenue rates.
Only those areas where the Mughals are able to survey the land were kept under this new revenue system and places like Bengal and Gujarat were kept out of this new system.
