The Mansabdari system was introduced in India by Akbar. This system is considered to be one of the most significant administrative reforms in Mughal India. Under the Mansabdari system, every member of the Mughal administration was given a rank or mansab, which determined their salary and military obligations. This system was implemented to ensure a centralized and efficient administration by placing nobles and military officers in various ranks or mansabs. It also served as a way for Akbar to maintain control over his empire by keeping a close eye on the ranks and rewards of his officials. Through this system, Akbar was able to create a well-organized bureaucracy and military structure that greatly contributed to the stability and expansion of the Mughal Empire.
