Disadvantages
- The cultivators were left at the mercy of the zamindar, who exploited and oppressed them, increased their rents, and evicted them from the land when they unable to pay the high rents. This led to widespread poverty and misery of the cultivators.
- Since the revenue was fixed, the government would not get a share of increasing returns to form the land.
- This system gave rise to a class of absentee landlords. These zamindars preferred to live in cities and towns and sublet then- land to tenants at high rates. These tenants in turn sublet it to other tenants. As this process continued, the rent rates increased with each successive layer. The entire burden of paying the enhanced rates had to be borne by the actual cultivator the last tenant.
