The British introduced land settlements to ensure a regular revenue source for the state.
Under these settlements:
- the British measured the land, defined the rights of each individual to that land, and fixed the revenue demand for the state.
- some peasants were declared landowners, other tenants. The tenants were to pay rent to the landowner who in turn paid revenue to the state.
