What is Paimaish (measurement/demarcation)?

Official measurement of a plot's boundaries by revenue staff.

Paimaish is the formal survey of a plot against the shajra map, done by the patwari/kanungo on the tehsildar's order, usually because of a boundary dispute or before construction. Get a paimaish done before buying land whose fencing looks 'approximate'.
