Explanation:

Zabti system

Akbar ordered that the settlement should be concluded for past 10 years. An aggregate of the rate of revenues from 1570 to 1579 was made and a decennial average was fixed as demand of the revenue. This brought certainty to collections and alleviated the problem of peasants to great extent. This was the so called Dahsala system or Zabti System, that was implemented by Raja Todarmal. This  remained a standard system of revenue assessment during the greater part of the Mughal empire. During Shahjahan’s era,  it was introduced in the Deccan by Murshid  Quli khan.
