Sikander Lodhi, the ablest of the Lodhi Sultans, commissioned the building of the present day city of Agra in 1504 AD. Muhammad bin Tughlaq pursued a harsh taxation policy in doab at the start but later tried to make amends by extending loans called Sandhar to farmers for various purposes like digging wells. Alauddin Khalji didn't start the practice of old-age pension.
