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.
