Answer:

Mauryan administration was highly centralized.

The Emperor was the supreme power and source of all authority.

He was assisted by a Council of Ministers. It was called ‘Mantriparishad’. The ministers were called ‘Mantris.’

The council was headed by ‘mantriparishad-adhyakshya’ akin to the Prime Minister of today.

Tirthas: the Highest category of officials in the administration. There were 18 Tirthas.

Adhyakshya: Ranked next only to Tirthas. There were 20 Adhyakshyas. They had economic and military functions.

Mahamattas: Higher ranking officials.

Amatyas: High ranking officials almost like present-day secretaries. They had administrative and judicial roles.

The Adhyakshyas were formed into a secretariat, which was divided into many departments.

Arthashastra mentions many Adhyakshyas for commerce, storehouses, gold, ships, agriculture, cows, horses, city, chariots, mint, infantry, etc.

Yuktas: Subordinate officers responsible for the Empire’s revenue.

Rajjukas: Officers in charge of land measurement and boundary-fixing.

Sansthadhyasksha: Superintendent of mint

Samasthadhyasksha: Superintendent of markets

Sulkaadhyaksha: Superintendent of tolls

Sitaadhyaksha: Superintendent of agriculture

Navadhyaksha: Superintendent of ships

Lohadhyaksha: Superintendent of iron

Pauthavadhyakhsa: Superintendent of weights and measures

Akaradhyaksha: Superintendent of mines
