Dear student,

The economic measures introduced by Allauddin Khilji are-
  • Alauddin fixed the prices of food grains, cloth and other commodities, and had them enforced rigorously. Everything was set down in tariff; vegetables, fruits, sugar, old, horses, caps, shoes, combs, and needles. No one was permitted to purchase grain from the cultivators directly. Only the authorised traders could do so. All merchants in Delhi were required to register themselves. “To the merchants he gave wealth, and placed before them goods in abundance. 
  • Alauddin’s economic measures had also another important aspect and that related to his land revenue policy. In this the Sultan had twin motives. First, he wanted to establish direct link between the States and the tillers of the soil. At the same time he wanted to raise the revenue from the land.
  • The Sultan also put an end to the special privileges of the Chaudhuris (headmen of the parganas), Khuts (zamindars), and Muquddams (headmen of the villages). They were not allowed to ride on horseback, to find weapons to get the cloths. Besides the State collected the revenue in kind from the Khalisa lands. The Sultan introduced two new taxes—a horse tax and a tax on all milk cows.
Regards.
