Maratha administration can be studied under three heads- Central Administration; Revenue Administration; and Military Administration. Chauth and Sardeshmukhi were other sources of income. Chauth was one-fourth of the standard which was paid to Marathas and Sardeshmukhi was the additional 10% levy. It was a tribute paid to the king.
