this were the problems zamindars faced under permanent settlement
Answer:
Zamindars did face many issues with the permanent settlement policy.
Explanation:
Here are list of problems faced by Zamindars under permanent settlement:
1. The zamindars did not actually make improvements to the land.
2. Because the revenue was so high, the zamindars had trouble making the payment.
3. The zamindari was forfeited by anyone who did not pay the revenue. At auctions held by the Company, numerous zamindars were sold.
4. The situation changed by the first decade of the 19th century. Market prices increased, and cultivation gradually grew. As a result, the zamindars' income increased, but the company did not benefit because it was unable to raise a set revenue demand.
5. The zamindars still had no interest in enhancing the land. In the early years of the settlement, some people had lost their lands; others suddenly saw a way to make money without going through the hassle and risk of investing. The zamindars had little interest in enhancing the land as long as they could lease it to tenants and collect rent.
6. In contrast, the cultivator found the system in the villages to be very oppressive. He paid the zamindar a substantial fee, and his claim to the land was uncertain.
