Answer:

Lord Cornwallis British Governor General introduced permanent land revenue system.

In the Ryotwari system introduced in South India, the land revenue was collected directly from the farmers (Ryots). Though ownership of land was vested with the farmers, excessive tax impoverished them.
In the Mahalwari system, the village headman was assigned the responsibility to collect tax. The tax rate was excessive in this system too. The entire village (Mahal) was considered as a single unit for tax collection.
