A mansabdar of Mughal period holding rank of 5000 was getting the salary about:
A. Rs. 30000 B. Ra. 20000 C. Ra 3000 D. Rs. 200
Explanation: For meeting these expenses, the Mughal mansabdars were paid handsomely. A manabdar with a rank or 5000 could get a salary of Rs. 30,000 per month, a mansabdar of 3000, Rs. 17,000, and of 1000, Rs. 200 per month. Even a humble sadi holding a rank of 100, could get Rs. 7,000 per year. Roughly a quarter of these salaries were spent on meeting the cost or the transport corps. Even then, the Mughal mansabdars formed the highest paid service in the world.
