Mansabdar means a man with a mansab (a position or rank), and mansabdari was a grading system to decide the rank, salary and military responsibilities of government officials. Iqtadars were governors of small land areas or iqtas. Iqtadars were basically military commanders who had to accompany the king during wars.
Mansab is the rank or position on the basis of which the salary of mansabdars was determined. On the other hand, subadar is the governor who was responsible for governing provinces of the Mughal empire.
The Taluqdar collected taxes from peasants and gave them to the Mughal emperor for the betterment of the Mughal empire, whereas the Zamindar collected taxes from the Taluqdar.
1. Jagirdars were holders of land assignments in lieu of judicial and police duties, whereas Zamindars were holders of revenue rights without obligation to perform any duty other than revenue collection. 2. Land assignments to Jagirdars were hereditary and revenue rights of Zamindars were not hereditary.
Mansabdars were compensated for their services either through salary in case or by being assigned jagirs. Zamindars were landlords since the medieval times who owned almost all agricultural land and employed peasants and farmers to till the land. They also collected revenue from farmers to whom they leased land to.
The Jagirdars were allowed to collect only authorized revenue in accordance with the imperial regulations. The jagirdars employed their own officials like ‘AMIL’ etc. The imperial office kept watch on the Jagirdars. The Diwan of the suba was supposed to prevent the oppression of the peasants by the Jagirdars.

The difference between Mansabdars and Muqtis was their place of residence. Mansabdars served all over the empire while the Muqtis resided primarily in their iqtas.
