Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
During the Sultanate era, a unique land allocation, the iqtadari system, was created. This system was created to take surpluses from the peasants and give them to the aristocracy. The management of the territory assigned to him fell under the purview of the iqtadar or muqti. The Delhi Sultans's iqtadari system was the foundation for the Mughal jagirdari system. Under this arrangement, all mansabdars were paid in cash or jagirs. One who had a jagir was known as a jagirdar. Jagirs that closely matched their salaries were provided to each jagirdar. The fundamental difference between the jagirdari system and the iqtadari system was that jagirdars were not required to live in the region but were obligated to supervise it.
The correct statement would be The Jagirdari system was not a unique type of land distribution system that evolved during the Sultanate period.
