Question Asked : IAS (Pre) 1997
Under the reconstructed central administrative system in the reign of Akbar, Mir Bakshi was the head of military department but was not the chief commander of the army. Bakshi was responsible for the recruitment and designation of proper rank and assignment of correct pay for soldiers. He was responsible for the inspection of mansabdars and troops and submission of these details to the emperor. Later in 1575, Akbar organized his soldier by Mansabdari System. Mansab means rank or status.
