Realizing the disadvantages of the Permanent Settlement was also due to administrative difficulties the East India Company introduced settlement in other parts of India which were quite different from the line adopted in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa.
In the Deccan, for example, new land settlement was introduced which came to be known as the Ryotwari Settlement.
Under this system settlement of land was directly made between the government and the ryot, i.e., the cultivators or tenants.
Moreover, in the ryotwari settlement the revenue was fixed for a period of thirty years, and not on a permanent basis as was in the case of the Permanent Settlement.
