Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 3 and 4
Notes: The muqtis or walis enjoyed similar powers in relation to their iqtas as the Sultan in the empire. However, they were under the supervision of the central government and carried out the orders of the sultan in his administration. They sent the center an annual report on their income and expenses and deposited the balance in the central treasury. They maintained large armies and had to help the sultan when necessary. They could not wage wars for the expansion of the area without the prior permission of the sultan, and if they participated they had to pay part of the loot to the sultan. No muqti was allowed to assume the title of sultan, hold his own court, or wear a royal canopy or emblem.
