The 8 lessons
कागज़ · 8 पाठ
कागज़ ही असली मालिकी है. Each lesson stands alone, but the order is deliberate — later lessons assume the vocabulary of earlier ones.
- 1Jamabandi — reading every columnजमाबंदी पढ़ना
The jamabandi is the record of rights for a village. Learn what each column holds — khata, khasra, khatedar, class, area, lagaan — and why the remarks column decides most deals.
Not done - 2Khasra and khatauni — the plot and the holdingखसरा और खतौनी
Khasra records the plot; khatauni records the holding. Learn how the two documents relate, how subdivision works, and why a khasra number is the only reliable way to identify land.
Not done - 3Girdawari — what is actually growing, and why it mattersगिरदावरी
Girdawari is the seasonal crop inspection recorded by the Patwari. It evidences who is actually cultivating, drives compensation and loan eligibility, and exposes possession disputes early.
Not done - 4Bhu-naksha and khasra map — shape, boundary, neighboursभू-नक्शा पढ़ना
The cadastral map shows what the jamabandi cannot: shape, frontage, access, adjoining parcels and internal features. Learn to read it and to match it against the ground.
Not done - 5नामांतरण — mutation by sale, inheritance, gift and willनामांतरण के प्रकार
Mutation updates the revenue record after a transfer. Learn the types — sale, succession, gift, will, partition, exchange, decree — the process, the objection window, and why mutation never creates title.
Not done - 6Encumbrances — रहननामा, court stay, partition, attachmentबोझ और रोक
Mortgages, bank charges, court stays, attachments, tenancies and pending appeals — what attaches to land, where each is searched, and why the revenue record alone will not find them.
Not done - 7Building a title chain — thirty years backटाइटल चेन बनाना
A title chain traces ownership backwards through registered deeds and mutations. Learn why thirty years is the convention, how to build the chain, and what the common gaps mean.
Not done - 8Registry and stamp duty — sale deed, agreement to sell, DLC rate, the GPA trapरजिस्ट्री और स्टाम्प ड्यूटी
How registration actually works, what stamp duty is charged on, what the DLC rate does, and why every scheme to avoid registration leaves the buyer holding less than they paid for.
