जमाबंदी
Definition
The record of rights maintained for each village — in Rajasthan, अधिकार अभिलेख. It states, for each holding, the khata number, the khasra numbers within it, the holders and their shares, the class of tenant, the area, the class of land, the revenue assessed, and — in the remarks column — the mortgages, court orders, restrictions and mutation references that decide whether a parcel can actually be sold. It is a record, not a title deed: it creates a presumption that better evidence can displace.
The village record of rights, recording holders, holdings, class, area, revenue and liabilities.
