Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
Mansabdar is a term that refers to an individual who holds a mansab, meaning a position or Rank. The mansabdars were people from Rajput, Afghans, and Marathas who joined Mughal services. It was a grading system used by the Mughals. Its main purpose was to determine the Rank, salary, and military responsibilities. A numerical value known as Zat is used to determine Rank and salary. A higher value of Zat means that a particularly noble person holds a higher position in the court. He was also awarded a higher salary. The mansabdars received their salaries as revenue assignments called jagirs. Jagirs are somewhat like iqtas.
The correct statement is that Mansabdars were paid through revenue assignments known as jagirs.
