The disadvantage is that the rural population of india were greatly affected by the introduction of ryotwari system as the demand imposed by the revenue officials was too high nd the ryots had to pay revenue even when their crops were destroyed by natural calamities. Many ryots unable to pay the revenue fled the countryside leaving several villages deserted.
