Q. The portion of the actual produce fixed as state’s share under the Zabti System of Mughals was ___?
Answer: One-third
Notes: Akbar's finance minister, Todar Mal, introduced the Zabti System (Ain-i-Dahsala), calculating the average land produce over 10 years (1570-1580) and fixing one-third as the state’s share. This standardized revenue collection, reduced corruption, and included detailed land surveys recorded in the Ain-i-Akbari. Farmers could pay in cash or kind.
