write about the taxation policies introduced by md bin Tughlaq ?
Answers
Answer:
Muhammad Tughluq carried out many measures for the improvement of the administration of revenue. One of these measures was preparation of a register in which income and expenditure of all the provinces were recorded. All provincial governors were asked to submit reports of income and expenditure of their concerning provinces to the centre for this purpose.
The main motive of the Sultan was to introduce a uniform standard of land revenue throughout his empire and to see that no village remained un-assessed. However, nothing is known about the advantages of this scheme. It is also not clear whether the Sultan kept in view the differences in the quality of land on the basis of produce and the difference in its prices at different places.
