Land terms I–L

The connection point without which a nearby expressway provides no access benefit.

The clause providing for payment if the parties complete directly or through another agent with a buyer you introduced.

The broker's record of every genuinely available parcel in a defined belt, with identifiers and status.

The verified, current record of genuinely available parcels in a belt; the agent's principal asset.

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.

Jaipur Development Authority — the planning and development authority for the Jaipur region.

An arrangement where the landowner contributes land and the developer contributes capital, approvals and execution, sharing the result.

The remarks or other-rights column, where mortgages, court orders, restrictions and corrections are noted.

The monsoon cropping season, sown with the rains and harvested afterwards. It is one of the two seasons for which the Patwari records girdawari, the other being rabi, so a parcel generates two crop entries a year. Reading several seasons of kharif and rabi entries together gives a free agronomic history of a parcel — what the land and its water actually support, and when that changed.

The monsoon cropping season.

The number identifying an individual field or plot within a village, and the only reliable identifier a parcel has. Names are spelt several ways and shared by cousins, areas are quoted in whichever bigha suits the speaker, and boundaries are described by reference to neighbours who sold up years ago. The khasra number ties the parcel to the map, the jamabandi, the mutation register, the deed and any court record. Sub-numbers such as 219/2 denote subdivisions and describe a different parcel from the parent number.

The individual field or plot number. The unit by which land is identified for every purpose.

The plot-wise record and the number identifying an individual parcel within a village.

A tenant holding khatedari rights under the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 — heritable and transferable, the closest thing to ownership for agricultural land in the state.

The principal class of tenancy in agricultural land in Rajasthan under the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955. It is heritable and transferable and behaves like ownership for most practical purposes, but it is a statutory right, which means the statute also bounds it — through restrictions on certain transfers, ceiling limits, allotment conditions, and the requirement of conversion before any non-agricultural use.

The principal class of tenancy under the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 — heritable and transferable, subject to statutory restrictions.

A protected tree species; felling is restricted even on private land.

Short-term crop and input finance for cultivators; not a land purchase product.

A grant of the right to use land for a period in exchange for payment, ownership retained.

The ability to sell quickly at a price close to assessed value; structurally limited for land.

General-purpose borrowing against an owned property; agricultural land is frequently excluded as collateral.
