Open in App
Solution

The jagirdari system had its roots in the iqtadari system prevalent under the Delhi Sultanate. Under this system, all mansabdars were paid either in cash or in the form of jagirs. The holders of jagirs were called jagirdars. A mansabdar was granted a jagir such that the revenue of the jagir was equivalent to the salary of the mansabdar.
