At the time of the rule of The East India Company, the British government regulated affairs, number of laws were passed like the permanent settlement act in Bengal, fixed revenue was increased from agricultural lands from the landlords and peasants. The Ryotwari system for tax collection acted as the chief source for the income of the British. The land was one of the most important sources for Britain’s income. Laws were enforced to control the entire Revenue system, to strengthen their economic condition inn India. Measuring land properly and recording details did this. Strict land and forest laws prevented people from getting in to the reserved forests, resulting to tribal revolts (e.g. Maharashtra and Chattisgarh).
