Write a short note on Mansabdari System
Answers
The mansabdari system, introduced by Akbar, is a standout feature of the Mughal administration. Under this system, every officer of the Mughal empire was given a rank or ‘mansab’. The lowest rank in the system was 10 whereas the highest was 5000 for the nobles. 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. The sawar rank implied the number of cavalrymen or sawar a mansabdar was required to maintain. For every ten cavalrymen, the mansabdar had to maintain twenty horses.
The mansabdars got their salaries in terms of revenue assignments called jagirs. It was not a resident assignment and the revenue was often collected by the mansabdar’s servants on his behalf while he himself served in some other part of the country.

Mansabdari System :
This system was almost like that Iqta system. under this system each officer or novel was given a mansab (rank) and was known as Mansabdar. Whom so ever Akbar honoured whether he was a military or a civil official was given a mansab.
Each month subbed are appointed promoted or demoted by the king. The highest mansab was given exclusively to the people of blue blood or the princes. Jat and savar were the two ranks given to mansabdar his mansabdari came under the empire and was alloted to some one else.
