उत्तर
The system had two special features:
Permanent ownership of land

- The zamindar’s ownership rights became hereditary and he was given the freedom to sell or mortgage his land.
- The cultivators of the land became the tenants of the zamindar and lost their ancestral rights. They had to pay rent to the zamindar who could increase the rent as and when they wanted to.
Fixed Revenue
- The land revenue was fixed on a permanent basis. The Company could not make any further demands on the zamindars.
- The zamindar had to pay the land revenue once a year on a specific date. If he failed to pay on time, his lands were confiscated and sold.
