What was the name of revenue system which was introduced by Todarmal?

  • A.Iqtadari
  • B.Zabti
  • C.Jagir
  • D.Mansab

Answer: B

Todar Mal introduced the Zabti (zabt) system.

Raja Todar Mal, Akbar's revenue minister, had crop yields surveyed over a ten-year period, 1570-1580. Each crop was then given a fixed cash revenue rate per unit of measured land, and each province (suba) had its own schedule of rates. This system of revenue based on measurement and fixed cash rates was called zabt.

The other options are different institutions. The iqta was the Delhi Sultanate's assignment of revenue to officers. A jagir was a Mughal revenue assignment given to a mansabdar in place of salary, and a mansab was a rank, not a revenue system.
