All the given statements are correct about the Mughal Mansabdari system. Akbar introduced the Mansabdari system which was common to both the military and the civil department. Mansabdar was referred to as the official, rank, or dignity.

The Mansabdars were differentiated by the Zat and the Sawar Rank. There were three categories of mansabdar according to the number of Zats and sawars. Mansabdars were also categorized according to their rank into Amir, Amiral Kabir and Amir-al Umara.

Appointment, promotion, suspension or dismissal of mansabdars rested entirely with the emperor. No portion of a mansabdar's property was hereditary. Senior mansabdars were awarded a jagir rather than a salary.
