Answer 1

According to the Mansabdari system, mansabder used to give the salary to the soldiers after discussing with the empero, and the emperor used to recruit mansabder after checking his qualification and credibility.

But this system was stopped by the Akbar and he was formed an army to reduce the financial losses.

There were few demerits of mansabder system such as mansabders used to avoid emperor and live a luxurious life, they misuse the money and revenue, mansabder used to generate loyalty to the soldiers to establish their power.
