Question

What is the profit of village headman in mahalwari system.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tax was assessed on the Mahal.

Each individual farmer gave his share.

Here also, ownership rights were with the peasants.

Revenue was collected by the village headman or village leaders (lambardar).

It introduced the concept of average rents for different soil classes.

The state share of the revenue was 66% of the rental value. The settlement was agreed upon for 30 years.

This system was called the Modified Zamindari system because the village headman became virtually a Zamindar.
