Best answer

The Nawabs of Awadh and Bengal tried to do away with the jagirdari system because they wanted to put a curb on cheating as well as the Mughal influence in their kingdoms. The jagirdars appointed by Mughals were corrupt, so the Nawabs reduced the size of jagirs and appointed loyal servants to complete the tasks. They checked the jagirdar's accounts and the districts' revenues were reassessed by officials appointed by the Nawab's court.
