[edit]These are all separate institutions that should have separate pages and furthermore have nothing to do with the Chinese and other institutions of the same generic name. This text could be moved to a "Board of Revenue (imperial India)" page if needed but it seems more appropriate to use it as a base for pages on each individual board of revenue if they were never subsumed into any larger department:
The '''Board of Revenue''' was a Colonial British institution and part of the [[British Raj]] in [[India]]. It provided the crucial role of [[revenue management]] during [[East India Company]] (EIC) rule. Created by the EIC in 1781, the board was formed to help the company's government in the detailed work of revenue and administration. The British had discovered "a synthesis between the collection of revenue and the general administration". The first Board of Revenue was set up in [[Bengal Presidency|Bengal]] in 1786 and [[Tamil Nadu]] soon followed suit. Over the course of time this organization came to be set up in most other provinces. [[Category:Government of British India]] [[Category:British East India Company]]
