Sher Shah Suri is remembered as a pioneer of the revenue system in India. During his short reign from 1540 to 1545, he brought about progressive and organized reforms in the land revenue system. The main components of this system were "jarib" or land measurement, "Patta" or title deed, and "Qabuliyat" or agreement, and direct assessment. This system formed the basis for the more comprehensive Mughal system to be developed later by Akbar.
