Detailed explanation-1: -Ryotwari system This system of land revenue was instituted in the late 18th century by Sir Thomas Munro, Governor of Madras in 1820. This was practised 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main feature of the Ryotwari System is that in this System there was no intermediary between the King and the cultivators as in the zamindari System. The peasants were recognised as the owner of the land. The tax was levied at a rate of 50% for drylands and 60% for wetlands.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ryotwari system was a land revenue system in British India introduced by Thomas Munro, which allowed the government to deal directly with the cultivator (’ryot’) for revenue collection and gave the peasant freedom to cede or acquire new land for cultivation.
