The masabhdars were payed in form of land grants called jagirs
However the jagirs still belonged to the state and the land was only given so the mansabhdars could make money out of the land like put it up for rent or grow crops etc.

The Mughals enrolled people of all races and religions into government jobs, and they were known as mansabdars.
Mansabdar means a man with a mansab (a position or rank), and mansabdari was a grading system to decide the rank, salary and military responsibilities of government officials.
The rank and salary of a mansabdar were fixed according to a numerical value called zat. So the higher the zat of a mansabdar is, the higher is his position in the court.
Mansabdars received specific numbers of sawars or cavalry men who were registered by the government, branded horses, and salaries for the sawars.
Mansabdars received salaries as revenue assignments called jagirs. And unlike muqtis, all mansabdars did not reside in their own jagirs but used servants to collect revenues there while they themselves served in another part of the empire.
During Akbar's rule, a mansabdar's salary was roughly equal to the revenue the Mughal Empire got from his jagir.
But this changed during Aurangzeb. As the number of mansabdars increased and the number of jagirs decreased, there was more land revenue.
