Pakhli was an ancient sarkar (an administrative unit used during Mughal times) of the Indian Subcontinent. The area of Pakhli Sarkar is now included in the Hazara Division of the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. Pakhli Sarkar was the only state in Mughal Empire which was exempted from any tax payments to Dehli. This is attributed to the fact that, just like the Mughal emperors, the rulers of Pakhli were of Central Asian origin.
