Amend description
=== Remuneration ===
Payment of the ''mansabdars'' by the emperor was by ''naqdi'' (cash) or the revenue of a ''jagir'' (land holding). Personal fortunes could not be passed to children but reverted to the emperor. This discouraged Amirs from investing in property and led to expenditure on extravagant lifestyles.
==== Jagir ====
The ''Jagir'' was the right granted by the emperor to recover revenue from a tract of land. The grantee was called a ''Jagirdar''.
