The prevailing tenure of the Deccan of our period was Rayatwari, but a zemindar class, the members of which were assigned royal revenues, did exist to a limited extent. The mention of \*grāmapati\* along with \*grāmakūṭa\* in some of our records shows that the former was a village holder. Some of the officials were assigned revenues of villages and towns, as shown already, and these probably are referred to as \*grāmapatis\*. There is no evidence, however, to show that whole districts or Talukas were being assigned to revenue farmers. - [Previous: c22.41](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.41) - [Next: c22.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.43) - [Up: c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.42) · Pramāṇa
