Alauddin Khilji introduced the market regulations to help soldiers and to make ends meet. Prices of all articles of common use were fixed. Separate department and special officers were appointed to regulate the market. The price fixed in the capital was applicable to all towns.
Alauddin Khilji changed the expense approaches just to increase his treasury and to pay his obligations and store for his wars of expansion. He raised agribusiness taxes straight forwardly from 20% to 50%, payable in kind of grain and rural produce or with cash and he discarded instalments.
