The remaining region was allowed to remain under the rule of the poligars , who continued to collect taxes from the cultivators , but were now required to pay annual tribute to the provincial government in Sira . In the annexed regions , in which tax assessment on cultivation was under <unk> or <unk> ( provincial government ) management , an elaborate system of officials collected and managed revenue . Most offices had existed in the region under the previous Bijapur Sultanate administration , and consisted , among others , of <unk> , <unk> , <unk> , and <unk> .
