The Mahalwari system (Hindiमहलवारी) was a system introduced by Lord Hastings[citation needed] . The other two systems were the Permanent Settlement of Bengal in 1793 and the Ryotwari system in 1820. It covered the States of Punjab,Awadh and Agra, parts of Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. During the 1800s, the British tried to establish their control over the administrative machinery of India. The System of Land Revenue acted as a chief source of income of the British. Land was one of the most important source of income for the British. Thus, they used land to control the entire Revenue system, strengthening their economic condition in India.

Answer:The government of Lord William Bentinck, Governor-General of India (1828 to 1835) introduced the Mahalwari system of land revenue in 1833.

This system was introduced in North-West Frontier, Agra, Central Province, Gangetic Valley, Punjab, etc.

This had elements of both the Zamindari and the Ryotwari systems.

This system divided the land into Mahals. Sometimes, a Mahal was constituted by one or more villages.

Tax was assessed on the Mahal.

Each individual farmer gave his share.

Here also, ownership rights were with the peasants.

Revenue was collected by the village headman or village leaders (lambardar).

It introduced the concept of average rents for different soil classes.

The state share of the revenue was 66% of the rental value. The settlement was agreed upon for 30 years.

This system was called the Modified Zamindari system because the village headman became virtually a Zamindar.
