In the Mughal Mansabdari system, the Mansabdars were hereditary officers.
Mansabdari system was the generic term for the military-type grading of all imperial officials of the Mughal Empire. The mansabdars governed the empire and commanded their armies in the emperor's name.
Though they were usually aristocrats, they did not form a feudal aristocracy, for neither the offices nor the estates that supported them were hereditary. There were 33 categories of mansabdars. The term is derived from Mansab, meaning 'rank'.
Hence, Mansabdar literally means rank-holder. The Mansabdars were differentiated by the Zat and the Sawar Rank. The Zat referred to rank maintained by the mansabdar and the Sawar referred to the number of horseman maintained by the mansabdar.
