The land revenue was an important source of the income of the Mughal Empire. It was because the money collected as taxes was spent in maintaining a large army, building forts, purchasing weapons and fighting wars. Revenues earned by taxing lands was also spent in initiating welfare schemes for the poor. The monetary security provided by the money earned through taxing lands helped in the overall strengthening of the Mughal Empire and provided stability to it.
