Among the given options, the Mahalwari Settlement is a land revenue policy introduced by the English East India Company. Introduced primarily in the North-Western Provinces, Oudh, and parts of Central India and Punjab, it involved collecting revenue from villagers jointly on the basis of a ‘mahal’ or village, with the village headman responsible for collection.

The three main land revenue systems introduced by the British in India were the Permanent Settlement (Bengal, Bihar, Odisha), the Ryotwari Settlement (Madras, Bombay, Assam), and the Mahalwari Settlement (North-Western Provinces, etc.).

Pitt’s India Act (1784) and the Regulating Act (1773) were administrative and political reforms aimed at controlling the EIC’s affairs. The Subsidiary Alliance was a military and political treaty system introduced by Lord Wellesley to bring Indian states under British control.
