Question

Who was benefitted in the Mansabdari system?

✓

Answer

The Mughal emperors and their mansabdars spent a great deal of their income on salaries and goods.
This expenditure benefited the artisans and peasantry who supplied them with goods and produce.
But the scale of revenue collection left very little for investment in the hands of the primary producers, the peasants and the artisans.
The poorest among them lived from hand to mouth.
They could not consider investing in additional resources like tools and supplies to increase productivity.
The wealthier peasantry and artisanal groups, the merchants and bankers profited in this type of economy.
