In which of the following years the East India Company introduced the Permanent Settlement?
1793
The Permanent Settlement (Zamindari system) was introduced by Governor-General Lord Cornwallis in 1793, first in Bengal and Bihar and later extended to Odisha and parts of Madras.
Under it, zamindars were recognised as owners of land and had to pay a fixed revenue to the East India Company permanently, regardless of the harvest, while they collected rent from the peasants.
1765 is the year the Company got the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa; 1775 and 1801 are not linked with this settlement. So it was introduced in 1793.
Hence, 1793.
