*Conditional (Mashrūt) and Unconditional (Bilā-shart) Pay.* — Rank and pay might be given absolutely, or they might be conditional on the holding of some particular office. The temporary or *mashrūt ba khidmat* rank was given as an addition to the permanent, *bilā-shart* rank which a man already occupied. On ceasing to hold the office, such as that of governor (*ṣūbahdār*) or military magistrate (*faujdār*), the *mashrūt* rank and pay were taken away.
