(ii) The Zamindars had to pay a fixed amount to the company.
(iii) It was decided the Govt. would have claim to the 10/11 of the gross revenue.
(iv) In case, any Zamindar failed to pay the fixed amount of revenue, the Government had the right to confiscate some part of his land holding to recover the amount due.
