The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 9: Remission of Transit Duties.

9

As I had removed the practice of levying transit duties, which amounted to many krors of rupees, throughout all the protected territories, I also extended the same indulgence to all the commercial places on the way between Kabul and Hindustan, the transit duties of which were collected annually to the amount of one kror and twenty-three lacs of dams. The whole transit duties of both provinces, viz. Kabul and Kandahar, were paid to the public treasury, and they formed the principal part of the income of those provinces. I removed the practice altogether, and this contributed much to the prosperity and benefit of the people of Iran and Turan.
