The "Mansabdari System", introduced by Akbar in 1571, was based on the military system of the Mongolians. It has its origins in Genghis Khan, who founded his army based on a decimal system of 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000 men. Akbar adopted the idea from Central Asia and made it his own, creating a unique Indian version of the military and administrative hierarchy. In the "Mansabdari System," every military officer, the "Mansabdar," had a specific "Mansab," or rank, which determined his salary.
