\nA Patta (or Pottah) was a written document or lease issued by the zamindar to the peasant (ryot) under systems like the Permanent Settlement. It was intended to be a record of the terms under which the land was held, specifically mentioning the area of land, the amount of rent payable by the peasant to the zamindar, and sometimes other conditions. It served as a kind of tenancy agreement.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe issuance of pattas was intended to protect peasants from arbitrary demands by providing a clear record of their rental obligations. However, in practice, zamindars often failed to issue proper pattas, or issued unfair ones, making it difficult for peasants to challenge excessive demands or evictions.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe counterpart document to the Patta, which the zamindar received from the ryot acknowledging the agreement and promising to pay the rent, was called a Qabuliyat (acceptance).
