it is a term of the vedic age
Later Vedic Period
The period between 1,500 BCE-1,000 BCE during which the Aryans settled in Sapta Sindhu region is called the Early Vedic Period.
In the Vedic period (2000 to 1500 BC), initially the king's power was not well established and taxation seems to have been occasional and voluntary. The term bali, originally used to devote voluntary offerings made to gods for securing their favour, came to be applied later to the presents and taxes offered to the king, more or less voluntarily. In the later Vedic period, the nature of taxation changed and the king was described as the 'eater of his subjects', and this phrase might have had its origin in a custom by which the king and his retinue were fed by the people's contributions.

Elements of it predate the Vedic period. For instance, a statue of a dancing man from neolithic Harappa is in the same posture as the dancing Nataraja form of the god Shiva.
The society in the early vedic period was changed a lot, Outside the four-fold division of the society the carpenters, the blacksmiths, the tanners, the fishermen and members of other professions formed their own castes or communities. The power and prestige of the Brahmanas and Kshatriyas increased.
There are the four Vedas (the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana Vedas) but the period of the development of Hinduism in which they were written (and some time before that) is sometimes referred to as the Vedic period. So, hypothetically, any text from that time could be "Vedic" but as a general rule the Vedic texts are the texts that only come from the four Vedas.
