Question

How was the land revenue calculated during Akbar's reign? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Firstly, Akbar adopted Shershah's Rai system in which cultivated area was measured, and a central schedule was created fixing the dues of peasants crop wise on the basis of the productivity of the land. The state's share was fixed one-third of the produce under the schedule (Dastur-i-amal) to be paid in cash.
