Explanation:

Gallabakhsh was a system of assessment in which the crop produce was divided after It was cut. It was prevalent in most parts of North West Boundaries of India i.e. modern Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of POK.

Batai or Galla-bakhshi was a very old system which continued during the Mughal period. This was a simple method of crop-sharing in which the produce was arranged into heaps and divided into three shares, one of which was taken by the state. Under this system the peasant had the choice to pay in cash or kind.
