Answer:
The British officials thought that investment in agriculture, trade, and the resources of the revenue of the State could be increased by agriculture.
For this, permanently fixing the revenue and securing the rights of property was done- a system came to be known as the 'Permanent Settlement'.
The Permanent Settlement had the features that state demand was fixed at 89% of the rent and 11% was to be retained by the zamindar.
The state demand could not be increased but payment should be made on the due date, before sunset, so it was also known as the 'Sunset Law'.
