Shivaji did not abolish all types of taxes on the occasion of his coronation. This would have been fiscally impossible for a state constantly at war. The coronation was marked by several symbolic acts: he assumed the high titles ‘Kshatriyakulavatans‘ and ‘Haindavadharmoddharak’, started a new official calendar called the Rajya Shaka (Coronation Era) and minted coins in his own name. . While he rationalized and standardized existing revenue demands like Chauth and Sardeshmukhi, he certainly did not eliminate the state’s entire revenue stream.
