How were the authorities of muqtis eroded?

Answer

Delhi Sultans brought the hinterland of the cities under their control.

Under Alauddin Khalji the state brought the assessment and collection of land revenue under its own control.

The rights of the local chieftains to levy taxes were cancelled.
They were also forced to pay taxes.
The Sultan's administrators measured the land and kept careful accounts.
Some of the old chieftains and landlords served the Sultanate as revenue collectors and assessors.
