In this system, every officer in the empire was given a rank or mansab and a jagir through which they could collect the revenue. The emperor was the sole authority that awarded, reduced, expanded and renewed the Mansab. He also awarded promotions to those who exhibited their courage in military assistance. The officers were granted regional units in return for their army. They had to carry in some fixed number of soldiers, horses and elephants to the field and thus were rated on the grounds of the numbers which was identified as Zats. The jagir was fixed as the salary and allowance for the officers. In return of their mansabs officers were required to pay military and financial services to the empire.
