Due to paucity of time all your questions could not be answered. However, the first two queries have been resolved.

1) Following symptoms are that led to the decline of the Mughal empire:

• Mughal Empire was described as the fabled land of wealth. But these same visitors were also appalled at the state of poverty that existed side by side with the greatest opulence. The inequalities were glaring.
• The Mughal emperors and their mansabdars spent a great deal of their income on salaries and goods.
• The authority of the Mughal emperor slowly declined, his servants emerged as powerful centres of power in the regions. They constituted new dynasties and held command of provinces like Hyderabad and Awadh.

2) Zabt is one way of revenue settlement during the time of Akbar. This system was crafted by Todar Mal. Some of the basic features of the system are as follows:

• after a careful survey of crop yields, prices and areas cultivated for a ten-year period, 1570-1580 the Zabt system was crafted.
• On the basis of this data, tax was fixed on each crop in cash. 
• Each province was divided into revenue circles with its own schedule of revenue rates for individual crops.
