Iqtadari system
The Iqtadari system was a form of land revenue administration used in the historical context of the Mughal Empire. It involved the allocation of land to individuals known as Iqtadars, who were responsible for collecting taxes from the land and maintaining law and order. In return, Iqtadars were allowed to keep a portion of the revenue for their services.
This system aimed to streamline tax collection and governance, ensuring that the central authority could maintain control over vast territories. The Iqtadari system played a crucial role in the economic structure of the Mughal Empire, influencing land management and local administration.
