Detailed Solution

The above statement is true. The demand for the revenue was to be revised periodically in the Mahalwari system.
Holt Mackenzie introduced it in 1822. He believed the village was a vital social institution in north Indian society. Collectors went to villages, inspecting the land, measuring the fields, and documenting the customs and rights of various groups. Each plot's estimated revenue within a village was added up. Unlike the permanent settlement, the demand was to be revised periodically rather than fixed firmly. The villages were called mahals. Thus, this system was introduced to generate revenue and improve the field of agriculture.
