Detailed explanation-1: -Muazzam tried to create affinity between Sikh and Maratha. He granted the right to collect Sardesh Mukhi of Deccan but not Chauth to the Marathas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Notes: The Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah I granted Marathas the sardeshmukhi of Deccan, but Bahadur Shah I failed to grant them chauth and thus could not satisfy the Marathas fully.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Mughal emperor Rafi-ud-Darajat had granted the Chauth and Sardeshmukhi rights to Raja Shahu over the six Mughal subas of the Deccan in February 1719.
Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer: Under the Maratha Empire during the medieval times, “Chauth” and “Sardeshmukhi” were two types of taxes collected in India. These taxes were found by Shivaji, a great Maratha leader who ruled from 1627-1680 and these emerged as the most important taxes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Chauth and sardeshmukhi were the taxes collected not in theMaratha kingdom but in the neighbouring territories of the Mughal Empire or Deccan sultanates. Chauth was one fourth of the land revenue paid to the Marathas in order to avoid the Maratha raids.
