== Mughal Empire ==

In the time of [[Emperor Akbar]] of the [[Mughal Empire]] (in the area of what is now [[India]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Afghanistan]]), a system similar to this was put into place to ensure smooth running of government and to prevent corruption.{{Citation needed|date=January 2022|reason=This is interesting. Please add a source for further research.}} Government officials were not allowed to serve in one jurisdiction for long so that they did not become too involved in local affairs and become stronger than the Emperor himself. After a period of time, employees of the Emperor were transferred and jurisdiction of service was thus rotated regularly. The implementation of this system in the Empire by Akbar helped in preventing corruption and favoritism. This method was discarded and forgotten by the later Emperors.
