Mansab is an arabic word meaning a post, officer or a rank
Akbar introduced the mansabdari system in 1570 A.D
The imperial officers of the state were called mansabdars
They had 66 ranks
The rank of 10 was lowest while 10000 was highest
They belonged to both civil and military department
They collected revenue which was given to the emperor

Check Bajwa's book in the Akbar part. Also add comments on its relation with Aurangzeb (revolts, rising power, nobility issues, , lack of any proper central govt. to keep a check on them, too many ranks to manage, extravagance etc.) and Shah Jehan (collection of funds to overcome famine)
