Jajmani system is characterised by :
Answer: B
The jajmani system is characterised by barter.
Under the jajmani system the service castes, such as the carpenter, blacksmith, barber and washerman, were paid by their patron families not in money but in kind: fixed shares of grain at harvest, food and clothes on festivals and at weddings, and sometimes a plot of land. Services were exchanged directly for goods.
A money economy is what eroded the jajmani system, as cash wages replaced customary payments. The system had political and religious aspects, but neither characterises it as the exchange in kind does.
