Detailed explanation-1: -The Problem of Permanent Settlement The revenue was fixed so high that most zamindars could not meet the demand and had to lose their rights to the property. Others were forced to sell off parts of their lands to pay the revenue in auctions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the peasants could not meet the demands of the zamindars and had to give up their lands. The zamindars then started demanding rent from the peasants. The zamindars did not want to improve the quality of the land as they were getting money from the peasants anyway.
Detailed explanation-3: -What was the result of the Permanent Settlement of Bengal? The Permanent Settlement of Bengal led to an agreement between the East India Company and Bengali landlords to fix revenues to be raised from land that had far-reaching consequences for both agricultural methods and productivity in the entire British Empire.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since the permanent settlement made Zamindars owners of land, peasants were left at their mercy. The Peasants had no right over land and could be kicked out any time. Zamindars got arbitrary powers to eject the cultivator and forfeit the agriculture stock for non-payment.
