Answer:
Mearits:
For this purpose all holdings were measured and assessed according to crop potential and actual cultivation. The advantages of this system were the elimination of middlemen, who often oppressed villagers, and an assessment of the tax on land actually cultivated and not merely occupied.
demerits:
The disadvantage is that the rural population of india were greatly affected by the introduction of ryotwari system as the demand imposed by the revenue officials was too high nd the ryots had to pay revenue even when their crops were destroyed by natural calamities.
