I have not quite figured out what Mahalwari means, but wikipedia says Mahalwari was in Uttar Pradesh, and it sounds more like zamindari.

I am very sure that the system in Madhya Pradesh was Malguzari, see this Supreme Court Case:

Ryotwari is right, Sharadjee, to my knowledge. In some places Mal could mean Mahalwari too. Don't know if Malgujari means the same as Mahalwari

    My understanding is that "Mal" means "Malguzari" and "Ryt" means
    "Ryotwari". Different land revenue systems were in vogue during
    the British period, and these are two of them.

        In the census data for Madhya Pradesh, there are numerous
        locations with Mal. or Ryt. in their name.  Does anyone know
        what this means?

        Rail Yard Town maybe?  I have no idea about Mal.

        Any help is greatly appreciated!

        Thanks,
