c8.s6.16

“*Waqāi* should be sent once a week, *sawānih* twice, and the *ākhbār* of harkarahs once [? a month] and the despatches in cylinders (*nalo*) from the *nāzim* and the *diwān* twice every month, in addition to urgent matters (which are to be reported immediately.)” But the practice in Gujrat early in the 18th century was to send all these papers to the Emperor along with the despatches of the provincial governor and diwan and a statement of the cash balance of the Treasury, once a week. [Mirat, ii. Sup 175.]
