Answer:
Raja Todar Mal, as finance minister of Akbar, introduced a new system of revenue known as zabt and a system of taxation called dahshala. He took a careful survey of crop yields and prices cultivated for a 10-year period 1570–1580.
The Mughal emperors enforced the old iqta system, renaming it jagir. ... The Jagirdar collected the revenue through his own officials. Those appointed to collect the revenue from the landholders were called zamindars. Zamindars collected taxes and maintained law and order with the help of Mughal officials and soldiers.
