Explanation

Khalisa lands were crown territories directly administered by the Sultan, not assigned as iqta (land grants) to nobles. The Amil, as the Pargana officer, had the authority to collect land revenue from these Khalisa lands within his jurisdiction, ensuring direct flow of revenue to the royal treasury.
