Give two problems which arose with the new Munro system of fixing revenue.

1. Overestimation of Land Assessment:
– Revenue fixed at high rates based on land potential, burdening peasants during poor crop yields or adverse conditions.

2. Lack of Tenure Security:
– Absence of guaranteed land tenure exposed peasants to exploitation by moneylenders or local elites, impacting their security.

3. Impact on Peasants’ Livelihood:
– Excessive taxation led to increased indebtedness, economic distress, and loss of land among peasants.

4. Inequitable Land Distribution:
– Failure to address unequal land distribution exacerbated by wealthier individuals acquiring more land.

5. Administration Challenges:
– Direct revenue collection from individual peasants posed administrative hurdles due to variations in landholdings and cultivators, leading to inconsistencies and disputes.

The Munro system encountered challenges related to overestimation of revenue, insecurity of peasant tenure, socio-economic distress, unequal land distribution, and administrative complexities, impacting its effectiveness in equitable revenue collection and governance interaction with cultivators.
