c18.s21.1

During the administration of the next Peshwa, the first Madhava Rao, we find the Brahmans claiming commutation for money payment as a customary favour shown to them. In 1767-68, a Brahman of Chambharli, in Tarf Tungartan of Prant Karnala, Balambhat Godbole by name, prayed for commutation and the land revenue payable by him was fixed at the rate of Rs. 5-2-6 per bigha.¹⁹
