What is Tehsil?
The revenue subdivision of a district; your land 'belongs' to one tehsil.
Districts are divided into tehsils (Kotdwar, Vikasnagar, etc.). Land records are maintained tehsil-wise, and that is where you get certified copies, file mutation applications and attend revenue-court hearings. Development 'blocks' are a separate, parallel division used for schemes - a village is in both a tehsil and a block.
