Jagirdari crisis, a Common card
The Jagirdari crisis is a historiographical category used to describe a chronic imbalance in the Mughal Empire's service-compensation system during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, in which the number of imperial rank-holders and their aggregate salary claims outran the revenue of assignable land.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term was coined by the Indian historian M. Athar Ali in his 1966 study The Mughal Nobility under Aurangzeb, and it has since framed much of the scholarly debate on the decline of the Mughal Empire.
- Although contemporary Mughal chroniclers such as Khafi Khan and Saqi Mustaid Khan recorded specific symptoms, terms such as bejagiri and the shrinking paibaqi were not assembled into a named crisis until late twentieth-century historiography.
- The structural mechanism was that from the late reign of Shah Jahan and accelerating through that of Aurangzeb, the Mughal service elite expanded faster than the empire's realised revenue.
