The Mansabdars were differentiated by the Zat and the Sawar Rank. The Zat referred to the number of troops maintained by the mansabdar and the Sawar referred to the number of horses maintained by the mansabdar. It was dependent on whether the king ordered the mansabdar to maintain more horses than his rank. The categories are shown below:

-No. of Sawar = No. of Zat => 1st Class Mansabdar

-No. of Sawar = 1/2 the No. of Zat => 2nd Class Mansabdar

-No. of Sawar < 1/2 the No. of Zat => 3rd Class Mansabdar
