There were three systems for management of Indian lands and
revenue collections. They were introduced by the East India company one after another.
The objective of the Permanent Settlement System of management of lands was to get steady and increased tax or rental revenues. Rajas, Maharajas, Tahsildars collected fixed taxes and rents (like given for leases). They passed it onto the East India company. This system was to encourage investments by the zamindars in lands. That was expected to increase production.
This system also endangered the Zamindars, as if they failed pay the amounts, they were stripped off their zamindari. That forced Zamindars to put in more efforts. That also created problems between zamindars, farmers and villagers. Some zamindars also turned their feelings against the East India company for this reason.
