The term jagirdar was derived by combining two Persian words: jagir ("holding hands") and dar ("official").
The bestowal of a jagir on a jagirdar could be either conditional or unconditional. A conditional jagir required in reciprocity from the beneficiary some form of public services, such as the levying and maintaining of troops for benefit of the realm.
An iqta (assignment of land) was usually made for life, and the jagir would revert to the state on the death of the holder, though it was possible for the heir to renew it on payment of a fee.
