DAFTAR – I – MAL

Daftar-i-Mal was created in 1721 during the period of Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jahi I. It continued till 1925. It is one of the oldest Daftars, and it transacted all the official business relating to the Jurisdiction over the two subas, Hyderabad and Bidar, in the same manner as Daftar-i-Diwani which held Jurisdiction over the remaining four subas of the Deccan, viz, the subas of Aurangabad, Berar, Bijapur and Burhanpur. Between them, the two Daftar controlled the administration of the entire State of Hyderabad. This Daftar contains the original sanads and copies of sanads, ahkams relating to Jagir, Inam, Yaumiya, saliyana, tafwiz, awarja and kaifiyat of Jagirdaran, inamdaran (Inam–holders) Madakhil-wo-makharij (income and expenditure), qaulnama jat and qubuliyat namas etc. The entire records are in Persian.
