list the 3 common features of the old mughal provinces ?

The following were the three common features of the states that were formed out of the old Mughal provinces:

• The states were suspicious of the old Mughal administrative system, particularly jagirdari. They adopted measures to curb the power of jagirdars that included checking their accounts and transferring them.

• The rulers contracted revenue farmers or ijaradars for tax-collection rather than officers of the state. This practice spread all over India in the eighteenth century.

• The states also forged a relationship with bankers and merchants who gained power during this time. The bankers and merchants lent money to revenue farmers, received land as security and collected tax upon these lands through their own agents.
