Eighteenth-century records tell us of zamindars in Bengal who remunerated blacksmiths, carpenters, and even goldsmiths for their work by paying them “a small daily allowance and diet money”. This later came to be described as the jajmani system. During the reign of Akbar, the amil-guzar was the revenue collector. Akbar decreed that while he should strive to make cultivators pay in cash, the option of payment in kind was also to be kept open. The land revenue arrangements consisted of two stages – first, assessment and then actual collection. The jama was the amount assessed, as opposed to hasil, the amount collected. |
