What is Mauza?
The revenue village - the unit for which records and maps are kept.
A mauza is a village as the revenue department sees it: one map, one set of khasra numbers, one khatauni. A single inhabited 'village' on the ground may contain several revenue mauzas, or several hamlets (tok) may share one mauza.
