Q. Akbar divided the empire into how many circles for purposes of grant of inam lands?
Answer: 6
Notes: Akbar separated the inam lands from the jagir and khalisa lands and divided the empire into six circles for purposes of grant of inam lands and their administration. Akbar made it a deliberate policy to grant inam lands to persons of different religious faith and beliefs. Akbar also made it a rule that half of the inam land should consist of cultivable wasteland. Thus, the inam holders were encouraged to extend cultivation.
