Solution
The system of granting revenue from a piece of land or a village to an officer instead of paying him a cash salary was called the Iqta system. Under this system, an officer (iqtadar) would collect the revenue from his territory (iqta). He would keep a certain amount of his salary from this revenue and another part of the revenue was spent on maintaining the soldiers for the Sultan. They also had to.pay a fixed amount annually to the Sultan. The officer had to keep a detailed account of his income and expenditure.
