History of Permanent Settlement
In 1765, the East India Company took control over Bengal, Bihar, and some districts of Karnataka by acquiring Diwani. It decided to manage land revenue directly but though the expected revenue increased from the last year yet didn’t match their expectation. They wanted to increase it for better profits. They wanted more revenue. So permanent settlement was introduced in Bengal and Bihar in 1793 by Lord Cornwallis. The framework in the end spread all over northern India by a progression of guidelines dated 1 May 1793. These guidelines stayed set up until the Charter Act of 1833.
