Which Mughal ruler is credited with introducing the Zabti revenue system across major parts of empire?
Akbar
The Zabti system, also called the Dahsala system, was a land revenue arrangement developed under Emperor Akbar with the help of his revenue minister Raja Todar Mal.
Under it, land was measured and the average produce and prices over the previous ten years were used to fix the state's demand in cash on each unit of cultivated area.
This standardised assessment made revenue collection more systematic and was applied across the core provinces of the empire.
Hence, the ruler credited with introducing the Zabti revenue system was Akbar.
