Solution(By Examveda Team)

The tendency towards royal intervention in the iqta system was as its peak under Muhammad Tughlaq. In several cases he handed over the collection of the revenues of the iqtas to either revenue farmers or his own financial officers, the commanders or amirs posted in the iqtas, presumably drawing their pay in cash from the local treasury and having nothing to do directly with revenue collection.
