Q. The terms ‘Jat and Sawar’ are related to which of the following administrative systems?
Answer: Mansabdari System
Notes: During later years of his reign, Akbar introduced the rank of ‘Zat’ and ‘Sawar’ in the Mansabdari system.

The rank of Sawar was given to mansabdars to fix up their additional allowances.
