Revenue generated was employed in various developmental activities of the state. Revenue of the villages was assigned to skilled Brahmins for their maintenance. If the share obtained in the revenue was very small they would be granted full exemption from taxation. In some smritis it has been observed that the whole of the Brahmin caste were exempted from taxation. However there is a difference of opinion as in Mahabharata it has been declared that the Brahmins who held lucrative positions were charged usual taxes and cess at applicable rates.
