The Iqta System was primarily used to grant land to military officers and soldiers in lieu of their service to the state.

Iqta grants were primarily awarded to military officers and soldiers as a reward for their service and to ensure their loyalty to the state.

Iqta holders were responsible for collecting taxes and revenue, maintaining law and order, and providing military service to the state.

The revenue generated from an Iqta was typically divided into three parts: a portion to the state treasury, a portion to the Iqta holder, and a portion to local officials.

The Iqta System had a multifaceted impact on the Delhi Sultanate, including strengthening the military, promoting economic growth, and leading to the emergence of a powerful landed aristocracy.

Iltutmish, the third ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, is generally regarded as the one who introduced the Iqta System.

In the Delhi Sultanate, the Iqta holder was referred to as a Muqti.

Iqta-i-Khalsa was not a type of Iqta grant. It referred to land that was directly under the control of the state.

The primary source of income for an Iqta holder was the taxes collected from peasants residing within the assigned territory.

The Iqta System contributed to the decline of the Delhi Sultanate by leading to the growth of a powerful landed aristocracy, neglecting agriculture and economic development, and causing widespread discontent among the peasantry.

Alauddin Khalji, the second ruler of the Khalji dynasty, attempted to abolish the Iqta System and introduce a centralized revenue collection system.

Alauddin Khalji's attempt to abolish the Iqta System was motivated by multiple factors, including increasing the revenue of the state, reducing the power of the landed aristocracy, and improving the efficiency of the administrative system.

Alauddin Khalji faced strong resistance from the landed aristocracy when he attempted to abolish the Iqta System. He was forced to reinstate the system due to the opposition he encountered.

Firoz Shah Tughlaq, the third ruler of the Tughlaq dynasty, is known for his efforts to reform the Iqta System and address the grievances of the peasantry.

Firoz Shah Tughlaq introduced a series of reforms to improve the Iqta System, including fixing revenue rates, appointing officials to oversee Iqta administration, and encouraging Iqta holders to invest in agriculture and infrastructure development.
