Mahal revenue unit in the Mughal period. Sometimes a
mahal corresponded to some parganas and sometimes it used to denote
revenues of miscellaneous nature like jal-mahal (revenues accrued
from fish products), Sayer mahal etc. In the account of Todar Mal's
revenue settlement of Bengal as found in the ain-i-akbari,
Bengal was divided into a number of sarkars and each sarkar was
again divided into a number of mahals. [Abdul Karim] |
