LONG OUESTION Answer :

Question. What were the terms of Permanent Settlement ? what problems did it pose ?
Answer : By the term of Permanent settlement ,rajas and taluqdars were recogniz- ed as zamindars . They were asked to collect rent from the peasants and pay revenue to the company. The amount to be paid was fixed permane- ntly . This settlement did create problems , as the company thought this would ensure a regular flow of revenue into the company and at the sa- me time would encourage zamindars to invest in improving land. But it was discovered that zamindars were not investing in the improvement of land, this happened due to high fixed land revenue .Who failed to pay the revenue lost his zamindari. This meant an increase in the income of the zamindars but no gain for the company ,since it had fixed the rev- enue demand permanently .In village this system proved oppressive for the cultivators. The rent they paid to the zamindars was high and the th- eir right on land was insecure .
