The dastak system related to trade privileges and concessions.
Under the farman granted by Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar in 1717, the English East India Company could trade in Bengal free of customs duties on payment of a fixed sum each year. The Company's officials issued passes called dastaks for such duty-free goods, and Company servants misused them for their private trade, causing heavy revenue losses to the Nawab and a dispute that fed into the conflicts with Siraj-ud-Daulah and Mir Qasim.
The dastak was a customs pass, not a military, judicial or appointment arrangement, so the other options are wrong.
