Explanation

Akbar abolished the Jizyah tax in 1564, just 8 years after ascending the throne. This was part of his broader policy of religious tolerance and reconciliation with his Hindu subjects. The abolition removed a major source of religious discrimination and helped integrate Hindus into the Mughal administrative framework, contributing to political stability.
