Be it the era of the Prophet or the era of the Rashid Caliphs, the Umayyad Caliphate or the Abbasid Caliphate, the Ottoman Turks or other regions under the influence of Muslims, accountability had a fundamental status in every era. If we look at the Mughal system of government in India, accountability has always been central. Historians of this era have praised the accountability system of the Mughals. In this paper, the accountability system of the Mughals has been clarified.
