Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The revenue system during Akbar's reign was called the Zabt system.
Todarmal, Akbar's minister of revenue, meticulously studied the yields, costs, and acreage planted over ten years between 1570 and 1580. This information was used to determine the cash tax on each crop. Each province was divided into revenue circles with its schedule of income rates for various crops. The name of this income scheme was "Zabt." The Mughal administration could survey the land and maintain meticulous records thanks to this approach, which was common. The elites' main source of income came from the levies that zamindars collected from the hard-working peasants who were paid little or nothing.
