In earlier imperial times, Harsha followed a "traditional monarchical system" of administration which had existed in India.

Explanation:

  • Harsha was in his best ways a real symbol of the old dynasty. The king was in principle absolute and omnipotent. But he had limited power in practice, under the Dharma rules, laws and customs of the land and to the wise advisory of ministers and nations. The wishes of the subjects had also to be respected. The King was the Supreme Legislator and the source of justice. He was also the central figure in the entire administrative machinery. Despite all of these powers, Harsha had no autocratic monarchy.
  • His Council of Ministers worked effectively during Harsha 's tenure. In times of crisis, it took crucial decisions. The head of the Council of Ministers was the chief minister. The Council of Ministers was also a foreign and war decision-making body. Other ministers also took important responsibilities in addition to the chief minister.
  • The effective civil service was maintained by Harsha.⠀ The king's ministers and officials were not paid in cash, but in land grants. They were even allocated to cities. One fourth of the crown lands "for the endowment of large government officials" was kept separate, another fourth part “for the state-worship & expenses of government
  • The State 's revenue was spent as public spending for 4 primary purposes. These were one for part for the government's expense, one part for state worship, one part for the gift of great officials, one part for the gift of high intellectuals & one part for gifts to various religious sets. Good days and poor days such as times of natural or public disasters have been reported by governments. The soldiers and the smaller state officers were paid in cash.
  • The Kingdom of Harsha was split into a number of provinces. Each province was divided into Bhuktis. And every Bhukti had several Vishayas divided.⠀ The Pathakas divided each vishaya further. Every region in question has been divided into separate villages.
  • Their headmen looked after the villages. In the accustomed manner of life, the government did not interfere with village rights. However, a system of decentralization worked to improve the management of different units. Personal inspections by Harsha kept territorial units in order and the central and provincial administrations coordinated.
  • The penal system of Harsha was both the severity of Maurya and the leniency of Gupta. It is worth noting that by putting anarchical circumstances under small rulers, Harsha strengthened its control. By a powerful justice scheme he needed to gain the confidence of the public. Therefore, the Penal Code was strict but moderately applied.
