The permanent settlement act was introduced by Lord Cornwallis in 1793. It was rather an agreement between British East India company and Landlords of Bengal to settle the land revenues to be raised.
The main features of the act are:
# To streamline the revenues of the compnay, Cornwallis changes the payment schedule from annual to decennial.
# Zamindars or landlords were only the revenue collector of the lands and they had no ownership over the lands.In the permanent settlement, the company recognized them as owners of the soil.
# The landlords were allowed to apply force and maintain order in their districts. As far they paid the fixed land revenues to the company, the company will not interfere in the internal dealings of the landlords.
