In this system, the land was divided into estates. The estates were called as Mahal. Each Mahal comprises a village. If villages are too small, then two or three villages were merged and converted into a Mahal.The assessment was done for the entire Mahal and a fixed revenue was collected.The villages committee was held responsible for collection of the taxes.Ownership rights were vested with the peasants.
