    C He abolished the zamindari (deshmukhi) system. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Salaries to the regular soldiers were paid both in cash and revenue grants. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    тАв Shivaji had laid the foundations of a sound system of administration. ShivajiтАЩs system of administration┬а was largely borrowed from the administrative practices of the Deccani states.┬а A new revenue assessment was completed by Annaji Datto in 1679. It is not correct to think that Shivaji abolished the zamindari (deshmukhi) system, or that he did not award jagirs (mokasa) to his officials. However, Shivaji strictly supervised the mirasdars, that is, those with hereditary rights in land.┬а
