Question

a) Write the role of samanta and zamindar in the commercial town.

b) How were the taxes collected and paid in the commercial town?​

Answer 1

a . Fortified palaces were built by a samanta or a zamindar in or near the small towns. They also levied taxes on traders, artisans and articles of trade. They sometimes delegated the right to collect taxes (claimed by them as ‘donation of right to temples’) to local temples which were built by them or rich merchants.

b. Income tax is generally collected in one of two ways: through withholding of tax at source and/or through payments directly by taxpayers. Nearly all jurisdictions require those paying employees or nonresidents to withhold income tax from such payments.
