Mughal Administration c9.s5.8

c9.s5.8

"The krori ought to entertain a body of militia (sehbandi) proportionate to his jurisdiction and collect the revenue without negligence and at the right time. He should not demand mahsul (the State due in cash or kind) from places not yet capable of paying, lest their ryots should run away. He should urge his subordinates not to realize anything in excess of the regulations, lest he should, in the end, be subjected to wāsilāt (examination of accounts with a view to detecting peculation.) He should be honest." (Manual, p. 66.)
