Though, all the Mansabdars were called Mansabdar. They were further classified based on their ranks. The classification is explained as follows:
Rank up to 500 zat | Mansabdars |
500 to below 1500 | Amirs |
1500 and above | Amir-i-Umda or Amir-i-Azam |
Amirs and Amir-i-Azam could have other Mansabdar or Amir to serve them. However, a Mansabdar could not have any such right.
