Question

The land revenue that was charged from 1/12th to 1/6th of the total produce of the year​

Answer 1

Since the rulers of Mahajanapadas used to build huge forts and upheld large armies, they were always in need of resources. So, rather than depending on occasional gifts brought by the people, they collected regular taxes from the people. Now, since most of the people are farmers then, the taxes collected by the farmers were the most important form of revenue for the rajas. It was fixed at one-sixth of the total produce. Apart from farmers, such taxes were also imposed on craftsmen, hunters, gatherers, traders etc. in different forms.
