Answer:
Under the mansabdari system, a mansabdar was required to maintain a fixed quota of troops. Every mansabdar was assigned a Jagir, taxes from which equalled his salary.
A mansabdar was expected to collect the revenue from his jagir and with the money collected, maintaine his household and pay his troops.
The mansabdari system faced a crisis in the latter half of the seventeenth century.
The number of mansabdars increased rapidly.
Due to a shortage of profitable jagirs and the gradual weakening of the centralized control, the mansabdars grew lax in maintaining the number of troops that was required of them.
This affects the military strength of the empire.
