described the mahalwari system of land revenue settlement
Dear Student,
Under the Mahalwari system, land was divided into mahals which was constituted by one or more villages. Taxes were assessed on the mahal and each farmer gave his share of the tax. Ownership rights were with individual farmers but revenue was collected by the village headman and deposited with the government.
Regards.
