Answer:

The revenue of the Chola kingdom came from - taxes on land and the produce of the land, and tax on trade. Part of the revenue was kept for the king. The rest was used on public works, such as the building of roads and tanks, on salaries of officials, on paying for the upkeep of the army, and on the building to temples.

Expansion of areas under cultivation through reclamation of forest and wastelands and all
the way through the formation of brahmadeya and devadana lands, were the major features
of the early and medieval Chola agriculture. The expansion of wet crop cultivation in
particular was a major transforming factor in the landscape of early medieval Tamil country.
Growth of population was one of the most obvious causes that led to seeking of new
settlements. The next equally important cause was the production pattern, which depended
on increase in the area under cultivation in order to increase the volume of production.An interesting fact about the Chola's economic policy is that they had to create policies and governance for a sustainable economic expansion as early as 9th century from scratch. The Cholas even conducted extensive land survey and graded lands for the purpose of taxation.

The Pallava rule had witnessed a drastic change in the social and economic life of the people. The emergence of the Bakthi Movement had significantly changed their way of life. It was further stimulated by the temple-building activity of the Pallava kings. There was also a remarkable growth of economy during this period. In general, there was a tremendous change in the society and culture during the Pallava rule.
