During the Mughal period, land revenue was primarily collected through a system known as the Zamindari system, where zamindars (landlords) acted as intermediaries between the state and the peasantry. They were responsible for collecting taxes from the farmers, who were typically required to pay a fixed percentage of their agricultural produce. The revenue system varied by region and was influenced by local customs, with some areas employing a more direct assessment of land productivity. The collected revenue was then remitted to the Mughal treasury, which was essential for financing the empire's administration and military.
Mahalwari settlement was a land revenue system introduced during British rule in India. Under this system, the revenue was collected from the village as a whole, rather than from individual landholders. This system aimed to create a sense of joint responsibility among villagers for tax payment and administration of land revenue.
