The reasons for the decline of the Mughal empire were many. But the very best among them was the revolt in Deccan by the Maratha forces, first led by Shivaji, his progeny, and later by the Peshwa confederacy that diverted the resources of the mughals disproportionately to the Deccan and hence its ruin.
The military administration of the later day Mughals was no different from their contemporary rivals in the subcontinent, except that of the Europeans. But the mughals came into contact and direct conflict with the British only in the battle of Buxar.
The army, in those days, of almost all of the native states was contributory, and the local subedars were supposed to provide the soldiers , along with all of the armament, horses and ration, to the empire, in return for the post and perks that were attached with it. The mansabdari system had classified these Nawab and subedars as per their rank, and the number of cavalry that they were supposed to maintain for the use of empire. This was, perhaps, a form of decentralization of the army, but the same was followed in many empires of Europe also, like that of Russian empire. In case of a war, the call went to the mansabdar to provide the army units, along with the expected expenditure.

Answer:
Numerous wars with the marathas and ruinious deccan campaigns led to an economic bankruptcy. The mughal army did not had a navy and was not modernized. Thus they lost their costal territories and also numerous wars resulting in the decline of once great empire.
