<P> The Permanent Settlement , also known as the Permanent Settlement of Bengal which was an agreement between the East India Company and Bengali landlords to fix revenues to be raised from land , with far - reaching consequences for both agricultural methods and productivity in the entire British Empire and the political realities of the Indian countryside . It was concluded in 1793 by the Company administration headed by Charles , Earl Cornwallis , also known as Lord Cornwallis . It formed one part of a larger body of legislation enacted , known as the Cornwallis Code . The Cornwallis Code of 1793 divided the East India Company 's service personnel into three branches : revenue , judicial , and commercial . Revenues were collected by Zamindars , native Indians who were treated as the landowners . This division created an Indian landed class that supported British authority . Permanent Settlement introduced first in Bengal and Bihar ; and then to South district of Madras and district of Varanasi . The system eventually spread all over northern India by a series of regulations dated 1 May 1793 . These regulations remained in place until the Charter Act of 1833 . The other two systems prevalent in India were The Ryotwari System and The Mahalwari System . </P>
