  • This system of land revenue was instituted in the late 18th century by Sir Thomas Munro, Governor of Madras in 1820.
  • This was practiced in the Madras and Bombay areas, as well as Assam and Coorg provinces.
  • In this system, the peasants or cultivators were regarded as the owners of the land. They had ownership rights, could sell, mortgage or gift the land.
  • The taxes were directly collected by the government from the peasants.
  • The rates were 50% in dry land and 60% in wetland.
  • The rates were high and unlike in the Permanent System, they were open to being increased.
  • If they failed to pay the taxes, they were evicted by the government.
  • Ryot means peasant cultivators.
