The names of the following officers are mentioned in the Farman: Divan, Amin, 'Amil, Krori, Fotah• dar, Tahsildar, Pattadar, Chowdhry, and Qjinfingo.
It would appear from the Farman under notice that like the Mansabdars the Imperial Governments also used to appoint Divans and Amins to collect the revenues from the Khalsa (reserved) lands.
