Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A person possessing a mansab, a position or rank, is referred to as a mansabdar. The Mughals employed it to decide three things:

Rank

Pay

Military obligations.

Jagirs, which resembled iqtas in structure, were the revenue assignments used to pay mansabdars. Contrary to muqtis, most mansabdars did not reside in or manage their jagirs. Only the income from their assignments, which their slaves gathered for them while the mansabdars themselves served elsewhere in the nation, was theirs. These jagirs were carefully evaluated during Akbar's rule such that their incomes were equivalent to the mansabdar's pay.
The correct statement would be Mansabdar does not refer to an individual who holds a jagir, meaning a position or rank.
