It should not be thought that the system of measurement can work only when the state demand is paid in cash. There is nothing in the system to make it necessary for the cultivator to pay in money, for the basic principle is the fixing of the average produce per unit area. Its resemblance to kharāj-i-muqāṭi‘ah consists in the fixity of the demand for a certain period, but measurement ensures a more equitable arrangement between the state and the cultivator, even if the demand is in kind.
