Correct Answer - Option 3 : Ryotwari 

The correct answer is Ryotwari.

  • The Ryotwari system is associated with the name of Thomas Munro, who was appointed Governor of Madras in May 1820.
  • Subsequently, the Ryotwari system was extended to the Bombay area.
  • Munro gradually reduced the rate of taxation from one-half to one-third of the gross produce, even then an excessive tax.

  • Under the Mahalwari system, the land revenue was collected from the farmers by the village headmen on behalf of the whole village.
  • Under the Ryotwari system, the land revenue was paid by the farmers directly to the state.
  • Zamindari system was started by the Imperialist East India Company in 1793.
