 Earlier , in 1689 , after the Moghul armies had overrun the region of the Mysore table @-@ land , twelve parganas ( or sub @-@ districts ) were annexed to the newly formed province ( subah ) of Sira . The remaining region was allowed to remain under the rule of the poligars , who continued to collect taxes from the cultivators , but were now required to pay annual tribute to the provincial government in Sira . In the annexed regions , in which tax assessment on cultivation was under amāni or Sarkār ( provincial government ) management , an elaborate system of officials collected and managed revenue . Most offices had existed in the region under the previous Bijapur Sultanate administration , and consisted , among others , of Deshmūks , Deshpāndes , Majmūndārs , and Kānungoyas . The Deshmūks " settled accounts " with the village headmen ( or patels ) ; the Deshpāndes verified the account @-@ books of the village registrars ( or kārnāms ) ; the Kānungoyas entered the official regulations in the village record @-@ books and also explained decrees and regulations to the village governing officers and residents . Lastly , the Majmūndārs prepared the final documents of the " settlement " ( i.e. the assessment and payment of tax ) and promulgated it .
