Hazrat Umar (RA) established which institute for improving fiscal (revenue) administration?

Correct answer: Diwan-ul-Kharaj. Hazrat Umar (RA) set up the Diwan-ul-Kharaj to manage land revenue.

Background: Hazrat Umar (RA) created many departments (diwans) to run the growing Islamic state.

• Diwan-e-Rasal: Diwan-e-Rasal is not a recognised department.
• Diwan-e-Ata: Diwan-e-Ata dealt with payments and stipends to Muslims.
• None of these: “None of these” is incorrect because Diwan-ul-Kharaj is correct.

Did you know? He is also credited with the Hijri calendar.

Memory trick: Kharaj = land revenue.
