hope it's helpful....
Impact of Permanent Settlement:
Absentee Landlordism : Since zamindars were assured of their ownership of lands, many of them stayed in towns. They entrusted rent collection to agents who even extracted illegal taxes besides the legal ones from the tenets.
After increase in prices, company suffered financial loss because land productivity was high while income from it was meagre.
Impact of Ryotwari system:
Even while the position of cultivator became more secure, but the rigid system of revenue collection forced ryots into the hands of moneylender.
Since the government itself became a big zamindar, it had right to enhance revenue at will. The cultivator was left at the mercy of the collecting officers.
Impact of Mahalwari System:
Since the government revised the revenue periodically, the peasants had not much benefit of elimination of middlemen between the government and the village.
This brought about some improvement in irrigation facilities, though major benefits of the system were largely enjoyed by the government.
