Question

What were the duties of jagirdars in the Mughal empire?

Answer 1

Answer:

The duty of a Jagirdar was to collect taxes which paid his salary and the rest of the amount went to the Mughal treasury. The system of Jagirdar continued even after the collapse of the Mughal empire. In Akbar’s reign, jagirs were carefully assessed so that their revenues were roughly equal to the salary of the mansabdar.
