Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Delhi Sultans established control over the urban outskirts. They pushed the Samantas, wealthy landowners, and landed chieftains to submit to their rule. Under Alauddin Khalji, the state established its own authority to evaluate and collect land taxes. The local chieftains' ability to charge taxes was abolished. They had to pay taxes as well. The Sultan's officials measured the property and kept meticulous records. The Sultanate employed several previous chieftains and landlords as revenue collectors and assessors. The titles given to the military officers who were given land concessions were Iqtadars or Muqtis. The Iqtadar or Muqti's duty was maintaining law and order in their iqtas. They were paid for their services through the revenue generated by their tasks.
