निशानदेही
Formal demarcation of boundaries through the revenue authorities.
Nishandehi (निशानदेही) is the formal demarcation of a holding’s boundaries by the revenue authorities, against the official map and record — the route when a boundary is genuinely in dispute, not merely unclear.
Most gaps between the land on the ground and the record have ordinary causes: an encroached boundary, a bund moved a little at a time, an informal family division the record never caught up with. Measure the parcel yourself and compare it with the bhu-naksha first; the GPS app and the Land Map Toolkit help with that check but are no substitute for the official map or for demarcation. Resolve any gap before you pay, not after. Where we make land ready for a buyer, official demarcation is done by the revenue department on application; we apply and attend.
This term is used in the following Academy lessons. The lesson gives it context that a definition on its own cannot.
