Beg rose through the ranks, from becoming a mansabdar of 1500 to that of 4000 horses as well as the Governor of Bihar, within a month of Jahangir's accession to the throne. Following the death of Qutubuddin Koka, Beg was appointed as the next Subahdar of Bengal and became a mansabdar of 5000 personal and horse.^[2]

Death and legacy

Being already in his advanced age, he suffered from illness due to the climate of the Bengal province. Consequently, he died within a year of his office.

Orissa subsequently returned to Akbarnagar, leaving the Governor of Orissa Hashim Khan (son of Qasim Khan Chishti) on his own for a while. These officers were later ordered to return to Orissa during the office of Subahdar Islam Khan I, and all returned on time except Raja Kalyan (son of Todar Mal).^[3]
