What is Jamabandi?

Another name for the record of rights, used in some states; in UP/UK usage it's effectively the khatauni.

In Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan the record of rights is called the jamabandi. In the UP/Uttarakhand system the equivalent document is the khatauni. If a lawyer or an old paper mentions jamabandi, read it as 'the official record of who holds the land'.
