Iqta System

• The Iqtadari was a unique type of land distribution and the administrative system that evolved during the sultanate of Iltutmish.

• Under this system, the entire empire was very evenly divided into several large and small tracts of land, called the Iqtas.

• These plots of land were assigned to the various nobles, officers, and soldiers for the purpose of easy and flawless administration and revenue collection.

• The Iqtas were transferable, i.e., the holders of Iqtas-Iqtadars-were transferred from one region to another every three to four years.

• The holders of small Iqtas were individual troopers. They had no administrative responsibilities.

• Muhammad of Ghur in 1206 A.D. the able king was the first to introduce the Iqta system in India, but it was lltutmish who gave it an institutional form. The Iqtadari system witnessed numerous changes during the Sultanate period. Initially, Iqta was a revenue-yielding piece of land that was assigned in lieu of salary. However, during Firuz Shah Tughlaq's reign, in the year  1351 A,D, it became hereditary.
