The Kanungo comes into prominence in the reign of Akbar, who employed him, as the name implies, to keep the records of the pargana, a revenue sub-division.He was in fact a registrar of a district appointed to see that the crown received its dues and that the ryot was not oppressed; his duties were responsible and onerous; he had to register the usages of a district, the rate and of its and all regulation relating thereto.The kanungos' duties also included the keeping of a record of all events, such as the appointments,deaths or removals of zamindars; to preserve the records of the Tumar and Taksim Jama etc.
