Halqua Patwari or Lekhpal

Each Village is assigned to a particular halqwa patwari who maintains the record of ownership of land (khatauni/Jamabardi), record of cultivation on the land (Kharsa Girdawari), map of the village called 'Aks Sizra' mutation register and other records of the village. In every cropping season, ie. Kharif, Rabi & Zaid, the halqua patwari inspects every field and records the cultivation data. He also initiates mutation (ie. change in ownership) and gives certified copies of land records.
