What is Khewat?
An older ownership register grouping land by owner/share (mostly historical now).
The khewat listed owners (or co-sharing families) and their shares in the village land, each given a khewat number. After zamindari was abolished the khatauni became the main record of rights, but you will still see khewat numbers quoted in old deeds and in some searches of the registration office.
