Section 9 in The Punjab Land Reforms Rules, 1973

9. Determination of area under assured irrigation when land is Nehri or Chahi.

(1)Where land is commanded for irrigation by a perennial canal the area of such land shall be multiplied by half of the irrigation intensity ratio specified against such a canal in Schedule 'A'. The figure thus arrived at shall be treated as the land under assured irrigation and capable of yielding at least two crops in a year and the remaining area of such land shall be treated as Barani land.
(2)Where land is commanded for irrigation by a non-perennial canal, the area of such land shall be multiplied by the irrigation intensity ratio specified against such a canal in Schedule 'A'. The figure thus arrived at shall be treated as the land under assured irrigation for one crop in a year and the remaining area of such land shall be treated as Barani land.
(3)Where land is commanded for irrigation by a tubewell owned by the Government, the area of such land shall be multiplied by half the irrigation intensity ratio specified against such a tubewell in Schedule 'A'. The figure this arrived at shall be treated as the land under assured irrigation and capable of yielding at least two crops in a year and the remaining area of such land shall be treated as Barani land.
(4)Where land is irrigated by water drawn from a privately owned tubewell, pumping set, open well or bore, the land under assured irrigation and capable of yielding at least two crops in a year shall be according to the norms specified in Schedule 'B'. The remaining area shall be treated as Barani land.
(5)Where irrigation by canal water or Government owned tubewell is supplemented by water drawn from a privately owned tubewell, pumping set, open well or bore, the area determined in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 'B' shall also be taken into consideration for the purpose of this rule.
(6)Where a tubewell, a pumping set, an open well or a bore has been installed on or before the appointed day in the land described in the Jamabandi prepared immediately before that day as Banjar Jadid or Banjar Qadim, the land determined in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 'B' shall be treated as land under assured irrigation and capable of yielding at least two crops in a year or land under assured irrigation for only one crop in a year depending on whether according to the khasra- girdawari record of the year 1970 at least two crops were raised on this land or only one crop was raised.
