During the reign of Akbar and his successors, the territory of the Basti district formed a part of which Sarkar of the Awadh Subah ?
Gorakhpur Sarkar
Under the Mughal administrative arrangement recorded in the Ain-i-Akbari, the empire was divided into subahs, each subah into sarkars and each sarkar into parganas.
The Awadh Subah contained five sarkars — Awadh, Lucknow, Bahraich, Khairabad and Gorakhpur. The territory of the present Basti district lay in the eastern part of that subah, adjoining the Gorakhpur tract, and it formed part of the Gorakhpur Sarkar during the reign of Akbar and his successors.
The other sarkars covered different areas. Bahraich sarkar lay to the north-west along the Ghaghara, Khairabad sarkar covered the region around modern Sitapur, and Jaunpur was a sarkar of the neighbouring Allahabad Subah rather than of Awadh at all.
Hence, the answer is Gorakhpur Sarkar.
