The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or Floor Space Index (FSI) is the ratio of the total floor area of buildings on a certain location to the size of the land of that location, or the limit imposed on such a ratio. The Floor Area Ratio is the total building square footage (building area) divided by the site size square footage (site area).As a formula: Floor Area Ratio = (Total covered area on all floors of all buildings on a certain plot)/(Area of the plot) Thus, an FSI of 2.0 would indicate that the total floor area of a building is two times the gross area of the plot on which it is constructed, as would be found in a multiple-story building

SUPER BUILT UP AREA

This includes the shop/apartment area along with the corridors or passages, lift wells, electrical and sanitary ducts, stairways and fire escapes, common areas such as lobbies and the clubhouse. The space considered super built up is in effect, the entire building including the thickness of walls, balconies and all other common amenities, which are divided in proportion to individual shops/ apartment. This varies from building to building. If the building has wider corridors and more amenities, the super built up area will be larger.

CARPET AREA
This is the actual and physical useable area in the apartment. It is the area within the four walls of the apartment, where you can lay a carpet. It does not include the wall thickness or any of the common amenities in the building.

JAMABANDI
It is a document prepared as part of record-of-right in every revenue estate. It contains entries regarding Ownership, cultivation and up-to-date of various rights in land. It is revised every five years when a Jamabandi is prepared by Patwari and attested by Revenue Officer. Two copies of revised Jamabandi are prepared. One copy is consigned to the District Record Room and other copy remains with Patwari for the currency of the Settlement, presumption of truth is attached to the entries in the Jamabandi under section 44 of Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887. All changes of rights in land coming to the notice of the Revenue Agency are reflected in the Jamabandi according to a set procedure after these have been verified by Revenue Officer.

MUTATION REGISTER
M utation indicates the changes that have to be brought about in ownership and title of the land. It contains the information about the khewat of last Jamabandi, which are proposed to be corrected (Column No 1 to 7) and information contained in Column no 8 to 12 is proposed to be established. These columns are self explanatory. Coulm no 13 indicates the types of mutation and its details. M utation fee is entered in column no 14 and brief report is given in column no 15. Referencing of mutations are made in current Jamabandi in Remarks Column. At a given point of time, column no 8-12 can be taken as column of Jamabandi and confirm the title of the land. There are many types of mutations but the main types includes Sale, Gift, M ortgage with Possession, M ortgage without possession, exchange, M utation of changes in ownership based on civil court decrees, mutation of inheritance, partition, land term leases, redemption of mortgage.

KHASRA GIRDAWARI
It is a register of harvest inspections. The patwari conducts field to field harvest inspections every six months in the month of October and M arch. He records facts regarding crop grown, soil classification, cultivation and capacity of the cultivators. This is valuable data and is basis for many returns and forecasts prepared and published by Director, Land Records, Haryana. The document is retained in custody of patwari for a period of 12 years after which it is also to be retrieved from him and destroyed. The first six monthly inspections starting from 1st of October is called Kharif Girdawari while second from Ist of M arch called Rabi Girdwari. If circumstances so required, different dates in this respect can be fixed by Commissioner of the Divisions for any or all districts under their charge. Besides, in case of extra Rabi crops such as melons and tobacco etc which can not be observed in M arch, the patwari make an extra inspection called Zaid Rabi Girdawari in respect of such fields. In some cases, similar Zaid Kharif Inspection is also done.

KHEWAT NUMBER
The Khewat number normally referred as 'KHATA NUM BER' by revenue officials is the account number given to owner(s) which form a set of co-sharers who own the land in same or different proportions. It therefore, can be understood as the account number given to various owners in the Khewat. The Khewat number in the Jamabandi runs sequentially starting from 1 to N. The Khewat Number may get changed in the next Jamabandi due to rearrangements i.e. same owners who were owners in some Khewat earlier may get another Khewat number in next Jamabandi. To clarify the things further, let us assume that there are 10 Khewats in a village and owners A, B & C were earlier in ownership of the Khewat 5 and did some transactions to a person say X who may be an owner in this village already or may appear in the Shajra and Jamabandi of the village due to this transaction for the first time. Now due to mutation(s), it may be the case that owners in Khewat number 5 sold complete land to X. If complete Khewat is sold and owner 'X' already exists in the village, then all the land will shift to Khewat that belongs to X. In case owner 'X' is a new owner and was not there in the Jamabandi earlier, then during mutation entry Khewat number 5 will cease to exist and instead Khewat number 5/1 will be given to 'X'. During final rearrangement / sequencing of Khewat number, then it may be the case that depending upon the caste/sub-caste of the Owner 'X' now Khewat number 5/1 (Khewat created from 5) may get another number. The arrangement, which has been shown above is a simple one for the purpose of understanding but in real situations it may be more complicated one depending upon the nature and type of mutations taking place in the village. You may say if above is the case then what is the way to know the Khewat of owners in the previous Jamabandi. This can be known with the help of Khewat number written with red ink (in computerized print it is shown as underlined) beneath the current Khewat number. In case you see Khewat number 6 (in blank ink) and beneath that Khewat a number say 5 is written in red-ink, then you can simply assume that present owners of Khewat number 6 in the current Jamabandi were owners in Khewat number 5 in the previous Jamabandi. Sometimes, a denominator is attached to a Khewat number also. This happens because of the fact that during the writing of Jamabandi and arrangement of Khewat numbers, a Khewat is left inadvertently and has to be inserted in between. For example though there were 10 Khewats and Patwari tried wrote the details for 10 Khewat in sequence one after another but forgot to mention a Khewat in between. Such Khewat if is to be inserted after Khewat 6 will be given number 6/1 or if is to be inserted after 8 will be given number 8/1. Though this practice of writing Khewat number is wrong but there is no immediate solution available. A facility has been given to enter such Khewats also by giving additional field i.e. bata (denominator) for such Khewat number. However, after the mutations, once a new Jamabandi is prepared, such denominators will not be allowed. Above is true in case of khatoni number also. But for denominator of Khasra, there is specific meaning and it has been explained in the section 2.4 Khasra Number.

KHATONI NUMBER
As Khewat number refers to a set of owners, khatoni number refers to a set of cultivators in the same sense. This khatoni number is given to the cultivators in the Khewat and runs sequentially in the village starting from 1 to N. Each Khewat will have at least one khatoni or more khatonies but will appear in a sequence within the Khewat and in the village. The Khatoni number if in one sense shows the cultivators then in another sense will show who are the persons who have the possession of the Khatoni consisting of various Khasras in the Khewat. In still another sense it also shows who are the persons who are owners of various khasras in the khatoni. In the same way as in case of Khewat where owner may sell, gift or mortgage, same type of transaction also takes place in the Khatoni also. Before the things start confusing you, the example shown below would help you to understand this issue. Say, A, B & C are owners in Khewat number 5 and this Khewat has three Khatonies number 5, 6 and 7. In Khatoni number 5, it is written 'Kast Va Kabja Swayam' and has got three khasras. Then this means that these three khasra are collectively possessed and cultivated by all the three owners mentioned in Col.4 i.e. Owners Details of Jamabandi. In the next khatoni i.e. Khatoni number 6 which say has one khasra and it is written 'A, B, C Hissadar Baya X M ustari Kast Va Kabja Swayam M ustari'. This description means that the Khasra in the khatoni number 6 has been sold by all the three owners collectively i.e. A, B & C to X who is the owner in 'Khana Kast'. This is because of the fact that owners A, B and C have sold a particular khasra number to X and X will be shown in khatoni number 6 as buyer and possession is also with X i.e. the purchaser. The purchaser will not get any Khewat number for the reason that khasra sold was earlier under the possession with all the three owners. Purchaser X will get another Khewat only when this Khewat number gets divided and shares are worked out based upon the area owned by each owner. Beneath the khatoni number, another number is written (underlined in computerised print) in red ink in the manually written Jamabandi) which shows the Khatoni number of current Khatoni in the previous Jamabandi. In the manually written Jamabandi this number is not shown. But once the mutations take place through this software and Khatonies are rearranged, then under each current Khatoni number, old Khatoni number would be shown as underlined. As explained under section 2.2, that in the manually written Jamabandi, sometimes a bata (denominator) is added to show the Khewat inserted in between. It is also true in case of Khatoni.

KHASRA NUMBER
The Khasra number is nothing but a plot number given to a specific piece of land in the village. Same way as one or more Khatonies form a Khewat, similarly one or more Khasra form a khatoni. The Khasra numbers in a khatoni may or may not be mentioned sequentially and once a khasra number has appeared in a khatoni, it can not figure in another Khatoni except in the case if the Khasra is 'M in'. But if it is min then it can not repeat in the same Khatoni. The Khasra numbers in a village are created once settlement of village starts. The settlement officials take village as a whole and on its map start from North East and give number to each and every plot in each direction and reach to North East direction again after giving number to each plot in all the directions. Khasra number may get divided due

to sale, gift etc. during the mutation and is given a new number with denominator. For example, because of mutation, Khasra number 100 is divided into two parts then during mutation two divisions of this khasra i.e. 100/1 and 100/2 will be created and transaction takes place. Once all the mutations have taken place the rearrangement of Khasra i.e. numbering is done by Patwari. How this renumbering/rearrangement is done is explained below: Say in the village only 499 Khasras were there in the previous Jamabandi and two new khasra divisions i.e. 100/1 and 100/2 were created due to mutation. During reorganisation, Khasra number 100/1 will get number 500/100 and 100/2 will get Khasra number 501/100 and khasra number 100 will cease to exists i.e. the last Khasra number is incremented by one (that is 499 now become 500 and 501) and in the denominator Khasra number out of which the Khasra is formed is attached. This will be the case for all the Khasra divisions. New Khasra number generation takes into account the principal of 'First-In First-Out (FIFO)' that is Khasra which got divided due to mutation number 5 will have precedence in getting new number over the khasra number which has been divided due to mutation number 10. To make the things further clear, let us say that khasra 100 was divided due to mutation number 5 and Khasra number 45 was divided into two parts (i.e. 45/1 and 45/2) due to mutation number 10. Then once the mutations are over and rearrangement of Khasra is undertaken, then new Khasra numbers are generated based upon the principal of 'FIFO'. Suppose last khasra in previous Jamabandi was 499 then new Khasra number will be 500/100, 501/100 (for khasra number 100) and 502/45 and 503/45 (For Khasra Number 45). So the example clarifies though the khasra number 45 is a number lesser than Khasra number 100 yet Khasra numbers generated out of 45 due to mutation number 10 will get next i.e. higher numbers.

MIN & SALAM

In the course of the implementation of Land Records Computerisation software you will often see the term M in/Saalam (feu / lkye) invariably. The 'M in' means partially and 'Saalam' means completely. If min is mentioned against an old Khewat/Khatoni/Khasra number then you can assume that the Khewat / khatoni / khasra under consideration is carved / formed out of the old Khewat / Khatoni / Khasra partially or transaction is taking place partially. 'Salam' word refers to the fact that new Khewat / Khatoni / Khasra is formed out of the old Khewat / Khatoni / Khasra when same was transacted completely. In case the Khewat / Khatoni / Khasra is formed due to min transaction, then you will see 'M in' besides the Khewat / Khatoni / Khasra. In case nothing is mentioned then you can very well assume that the Khewat / khatoni / khasra is 'Salam', by default.
