INTRODUCTION:
Land revenue is a tax on land or its produce paid to the Government as lord paramount either in cash or in kind. Originally
it was a share of grain heap on threshing-floor. According to Manusmriti this share was 1/6th of the gross produce. But
Manu mentions that the 1/6th might be raised to 1/4th in the time of war or other emergency. Long after the days of Manu
"the sixth" remained a customary share. Though the sixth became the traditional share the growing requirement of State in
a perpetual condition of warfare, and the frequent demands of conquerors often caused it to be raised.
During the Muslim period the State's share was increased and finally fixed as 1/3rd of the produce by the Todar Mal's
Settlement. The land-tax was made payable in cash instead of grain. This land revenue remained unchanged for a period
of two centuries.
But during the British rule the land policy was changed entirely. They introduced intermediaries between the cultivators
and the State. This new class was given the name of "Zamindars". Actually they were the collectors of land revenue. They
collected and realised land revenue from the tenants and deposited it to the State. Whatever they collected and realised
from the tenants was termed as "rent", and the amount paid to the State was called "land revenue". Thus the British land
policy divided the land-tax into two-the revenue and the rent. Malguzari is the appropriate word for revenue. Lagan means
rent.

Conclusion
By giving these special, specific and easy provisions in the UP Revenue Code, 2006, legislators have changed
the whole land revenue and management system in the state. This Code is enacted having the aim of immediate
doorstep justice to the poor rustic villagers who are not familiar with the technicalities of law and runs from
pillar to post to get the justice from one court to another court. The Land Revenue Code 2006 hae specified the
Management authorities and their Powers. Authorities like Gram Panchayat and Gram Sabha handle the
Management of Land in the Village areas.
The authorities under the new Code are almost similar to the Revenue Act, 1901 with almost similar functions
with some deviation here and there. The deviation in functioning is fringe but appreciable and one could find
these deviation if he closely compare and contrast the provision of both the act.
