Jamabandi is prepared at the last preceding Re-Settlement of
the district. Land Revenue and local rate payable by pattadars
are incorporated in the Jamabandi Register. The Register
kanungo of the Deputy Commissioner's Office is the custodian
of Jamabandis.
The Circle Officer visits every village at least once in
every alternate year along with the Supervisor Kanungo and the
Recorder, gets the chitha and the jamabandi read-out publicly
in the village and gets all the changes by the land record
staff then and there in the chitha so as to maintain the land
records upto date. This process is known as field mutation.
The Recorder corrects the local periodic jamabandi so as to
carry out changes sanctioned by the competent authorities in
the chitha to reflect the changes as well to his local copy of
Jamabandi and Chitha. These corrections are signed with date
jointly by the Register Kanungo and the Recorder . Any changes
in the Chitha entries are reflected in the remarks column.
Thus, all the local records are maintained upto date by a
continuous process of recording. All corrections are made in
red ink.
