When was 'Permanent Settlement' introduced in Bengal?

1793

The correct answer is Option (3) → 1793

The Permanent Settlement, also known as the Cornwallis Code, was introduced by Lord Cornwallis in 1793. It aimed to fix the revenue demand from land in perpetuity.  According to Permanent Settlement, the zamindar was not a landowner in the village, but a revenue Collector of the state. The landholders were made intermediaries between the peasants and the British government, and they were required to pay a fixed sum irrespective of the land's actual produce.
