Consequences of the Maratha war on the Mughal Empire were:

• The Mughal Maratha wars drained the Mughal treasury and ruined the economy of Deccan.
• Aurangzeb’s long absence from the north due to the perusal of the Maratha army led to the deterioration of administration. Corruption and disorder became rampant.
• Nobles became rebellious in the absence of Aurangzeb.
• Due to the long drawn struggle between the two sides, many Mughal soldiers in the Deccan mutinied.
