Who is the highest officer of the revenue administration in a district ?
Deputy Commissioner
Revenue administration in India is organised in a hierarchy: the tehsil or taluka under a Tehsildar, the sub-division under a Sub-Divisional Magistrate, the district under the Collector, and a group of districts (division) under a Divisional Commissioner.
Within a district, the top revenue authority is the District Collector. In several states this same post is formally designated Deputy Commissioner, while the District Magistrate title refers to the same officer's law and order role.
The Tehsildar and the SDM work below the Collector, and the Divisional Commissioner supervises several districts, so he is a divisional rather than a district officer. The district-level head of revenue therefore matches the Deputy Commissioner.
Hence, Deputy Commissioner.
