★The Altamgha Jagir was not a revenue-free land grant, so the answer is the Altamgha Jagir.
★Under Jahangir, some Muslim nobles were given jagirs resembling watan jagirs, called Altamgha.

★Suyurghal was a term for grants of revenue in charity in Akbar's administration.
★Madad-i-ma'ash and Punya Udak were revenue-free grants for religious and charitable purposes.
