Reading a jamabandi, column by column

Tap any cell. The record of rights is the most consulted land document in Rajasthan and most people never read past the name column.

Specimen v1.0 Fictional data throughout Not a government form
This is a teaching specimen, not a government form and not a real record. Every name, khasra number, area, figure and village on this page is invented for teaching. It is not a reproduction of any official form, it is not issued by or connected with any government department, and it must never be presented, copied or relied on as a real document. Layouts of real records vary between districts, between older handwritten registers and newer portal extracts, and between States. Use this to learn what the fields mean; then read an actual record. AgriZameen is an independent private platform and is not a government body.

This specimen shows a single khata with three khasras, held jointly. The data is invented. What is real is the structure: these are the fields you will meet, in roughly this order, on a Rajasthan record of rights.

The column that decides most transactions is the last one.

Tap any field to read what it means. Fields marked ! are the ones that decide transactions.

Tap a field above to see what it means.

What to do with a real one

  1. Write down every khasra number with its sub-number and area, exactly as printed.
  2. Read the class of tenant before anything else. If it is not खातेदार, stop and find out why.
  3. Count the names and shares. Establish whether the shares add to the whole and whether any heir is missing.
  4. Read the remarks column line by line and get every notation explained by the Patwari.
  5. Note the mutation reference. That is where the title chain begins.
