  2. The king was helped by a team of ministers. He could appoint, promote or dismiss these ministers or officials.
  3. Important council of ministers were the diwan, mir bakshi, qazi, chief sadr and the vakil. All these ministers worked under the supervision of the king.
  4. Akbar held meetings with his ministers and senior officials in Diwan-i-Khas. 

Provincial Administration:

  1. The Mughal Empire was divided into fifteen provinces or the subas. A governor or the subedar was in charge of the province.
  2. While the subedar looked after the military and the civil affairs, the diwan kept an account of the land revenues. Both the subedar and the diwan kept a check on each other.
  3. The provinces divided into districts or sarkars. The sarkars were further subdivided into parganas. A pargana had numerous villages under it.
  4. A team of officials looked after different functions in a pargana. Village panchayats looked after the administration of villages.
