The Board of Revenue was the highest Revenue Judiciary in the State with incidental executive functions requiring control over Commissioners and Collectors.
Before independence, it exercised almost the same powers and prestige as the High Court.
After the emergence of responsible Government and welfare state, both of these functions of the Board of Revenue led to greater centralization with respect to policy formulation and policy implementation.
To a great extent, the administrative power exercised by the Board of Revenue was taken by the State Government.
