According to Ain-i-Akbari, which category of land was cultivated annually and was not allowed to remain fallow ?
Polaj
Abul Fazl's Ain-i-Akbari classifies land under Akbar's revenue system into four categories according to the continuity of cultivation.
Polaj was land cultivated every year for each crop in succession and never left fallow. Parauti was left fallow for a short time to recover its strength, Chachar lay fallow for three or four years, and Banjar remained uncultivated for five years or more.
So the land cultivated annually without being left fallow is Polaj.
Hence, Polaj.
