Which of the following was NOT an intermediary appointed by the British to collect land revenue from the people of India?

The correct answer is Kumaramatya.Kumaramatya was NOT an intermediary appointed by the British to collect land revenue from the people of India.Land revenue was one of the major sources of income for Britishers in India.So its policies were aimed at getting maximum income from the land without caring about its consequences on cultivators and peasants.There were broadly three types of land revenue policies in existence during the British rule in India.Before independence, there were three major types of land tenure systems prevailing in the country:The Zamindari SystemThe Mahalwari SystemThe Ryotwari SystemThe basic difference in these systems was regarding the mode of payment of land revenue. ​ The Zamindari System :The zamindari system was introduced by Lord Cornwallis in 1793 through Permanent Settlement that fixed the land rights of the members in perpetuity without any provision for fixed rent or occupancy right for actual cultivators.It was introduced in the PROVINCES of Bengal, Bihar, Orissa and Varanasi.Ryotwari System :Ryotwari System was introduced by Thomas Munro in 1820.Major areas of introduction include Madras, BOMBAY, parts of Assam and Coorgh provinces of British India.In Ryotwari System the ownership rights were handed over to the peasants.British Government COLLECTED taxes directly from the peasants.The revenue rates of the Ryotwari System were 50% where the lands were dry and 60% in irrigated land.Mahalwari System :Mahalwari system was introduced in 1833 during the PERIOD of William Bentick.It was introduced in Central Province, North-West Frontier, Agra, Punjab, Gangetic Valley, etc of British India.The Mahalwari system had many provisions of both the Zamindari System and Ryotwari System.In this system, the land was divided into Mahals.Each Mahal comprises one or more villages.Ownership rights were VESTED with the peasants.The villages committee was held responsible for the collection of the taxes.
