East India Company officials began to feel that investment in land had to be encouraged and agriculture had to be improved. So they introduced the Permanent Settlement in 1793 when Cornwallis was the Governor General.
According the terms of the settlement, zamindars were given the powers to collect the revenues agreed upon in auctions. Therefore, it was also calledzamindari settlement. They have to pass on 90% of the amountto the Government retaining 10% as collection charges. Theamount to be paid was fixed permanently, that is, it was not tobe increased in future.The Zamindars, however, collected more revenue thanagreed upon through auction. They continuously increased therevenue and changed the cultivators who did not meet thedemand.
