An Imperial order was made abolishing the tamgha (tolls) and the zakát (customs) throughout the empire. Farmáns enforcing this abolition were issued. These taxes amounted to as much as the whole revenue of Íran, and it is clear that no king would have remitted them without divine guidance. In this year Muhammad Ma'súm Khán, son of Mu'ínu-d dín Ahmad Khán Farankhúdí, who held the government of Jaunpur, came to Court, and was allowed to return to that place. Mullá Muhammad Yazdí was appointed chief kází of Jaunpur. The government of Dehlí was given to Muhibb 'Alí Khán, son of Mír Khalífa.
