Solution

The administration of the Sultanate under Alauddin Khalji and Muhammad bin Tughlaq was similar in many ways. Both of them relied on the iqta system of administration. In this system, a​n iqta or muqti was appointed to collect the land revenue. But both of them ensured that the offices were not hereditary. Officials were transferred frequently so that they had minimal social and political connection with the public. Both the sultans had the habit of ensuring that the muqtis collected only as much tax as was prescribed. For the same, they appointed accountants to keep a check on the iqtas or muqtis.
