Question

Mention the immediate consequences of the permanent settlement.

✓

Answer

The zamindar was landlord over the tenant.
He was himself subordinated to the state and his status was reduced to that of a tenant of the East India company.
He could be turned out unceremoniously if he failed to pay the revenue on time.
The rates of revenue were fixed very high and rules governing payment stringently applied.
One result was that over 75% of the zamindaris changed hands after permanent settlement.
