Answer 1

Answer:

The mansabdari system, introduced by Akbar, is a standout feature of the Mughal administration. ... It was a grading system used by the Mughals to decide rank, salary and military responsibilities. The ranks were divided into two, namely zat and sawar. Zat fixed the personal status of a person and the salary due to him.

Akbar introduced the Mansabdari system. 'Mansab' is an Arabic word meaning rank or position. ... Apart from salary in cash, a jagir was also given to the mansabdar for paying the soldiers and maintaining a fixed number of elephants, camels, mules, and carts.
