what were the main sources of revenue of Mughal government? what improvement did Akbar make to collect the revenue?
Answers
The Revenue administration under the first two Mughal rulers—Babur and Humayun—continued to operate as it was under the Sultans of Delhi. Babur was so much engrossed in the various wars during his four years of rule that he could affairs devote to the revenue affairs.
Humayun, his successor, also found himself in trouble soon after his accession to the throne and had to spend most of his life in exile. Accordingly, he also did not get any chance to improve the revenue administration.
Answer:
"Tax collection" was the "Mughal emperors' primary source" of revenue.
Explanation:
There were taxes on land, farming and other companies. But there were rulers who cared not for the people but only for the money. But Akbar did care for the people. Akbar was one of Mughal India's most far-sighted rulers. By foregoing taxes, he supported farmers when they didn't do good. Most importantly, Akbar had abolished the Jizya tax (started by "Qutub Ud din Aibak"), which until then had only been imposed on the Hindus. Under his rule, he proclaimed everyone is equal. He even found a new religion called "Din Ilahi" (one god), which sycophants used until his death.
