Crime reduces production, trade, and tax compliance; suppressing theft protects property rights and stabilizes revenue flows.

What does 'parihārakṣaya' imply in modern fiscal terms?

Reducing tax remissions/exemptions and leakages—i.e., controlling tax expenditures and discretionary waivers that erode the base.
