1 is correct: the amil (or amalguzar) was the local revenue collector. 2 is wrong: the iqta was a West-Asian institution imported by Turkish rulers, not an ancient Indian practice. 3 is wrong: Mir Bakshi was created later under the Mughals, not under the Khaljis. Hence only statement 1 is correct. ([edukemy.com](https://edukemy.com/blog/upsc-prelims-2019-question-12/?utm_source=openai))
