Section 79 in Rajasthan Land Revenue (Land Records) Rules, 1957

79. Crop failures.

- (i) All crops that have been sown must necessarily be recorded in the columns for crops, irrespective of the fact whether the crop has matured or not. If the crop has failed in a field or part of it, the Patwari shall enter under the area of the crop, as denominator, in red ink. the area over which the crop has failed. Such area shall be totalled in every page of the Khasra along with the area totals of each crop at the end of each Girdawari on the last page of the Khasra. The total area that has failed during the season under each crop shall also be shown.
(ii)"Crop failure" (Bijmar) denotes not only failure of the crop to germinate or failure soon after germination but also denotes cases where the crop is not harvested due to the extremely meagre out-tum or other calamities e.g. floods, hail storm, locusts, rust, pest etc.
(iii)The following instructions about the entry of the failed area shall be followed:-
(a)When a crop fails to genninate or dries up or is destroyed by calamities of season, it should be entered as "Kharaba". Very careful attention should be given to the partially failed crops, that is, crops of which the yield appears to be much below average. When the actual yield of the crop grown in one Khasra number is estimated by careful inspection to be not more than 75% of the usual or average yield, then a deduction from the whole area of the crop should be made; for example an inferior fields of wheat measuring 4 bighas may be returned as wheat 3 bighas, Kharaba 1 bigha but this is to be done only when the actual yield of the whole crop is estimated to be not more than 75% of the average, and the "Kharaba" allowed should be only as much as is necessary to raise the whole crop of the area returned as under crop to the average of an ordinary harvest.
(b)The average yield should be that adopted by the Settlement Officer at the previous settlement for the assessment circle in which the village is included, unless some other yield has been specially prescribed in the Dastoorulamal or else where. In the absence of any such average yield being available, the revenue officials should judge for themselves, what yield should be regarded as average and in doing so they may take into consideration the results of crop cutting experiments of several years. These should generally be approved by Collectors on the recommendations of the Tehsildar and Sub-Divisional Officers. Where two more distinct crops are grown separately in different portions of one Khasra number, Kharaba should be entered separately for each such distinct crop.
(c)Deductions of "Kharaba" made under these instructions should unless some other local scale has been prescribed by proper authority, be entered as far as it is reasonably practicable, in accordance with the following scale, taking 16 annas as the average yield of a crop:-
Yield more than 12 annas No deduction.
Yield more than 8 annas but not more than 12 annas. Deduct ¼ of the sown area.
Yield more than 4 annas but not more than 8 annas. Deduct ½ of the sown area.
Yield not more than 4 annas Deduct whole sown area,
(d)The failed crops which are fed to cattle should be treated as failed rather than 'fodder'.
(e)The actual "Bijmar" area defined in rule (ii) should be shown as denominator to the failed area and will be deducted out of the failed area.
(iv)In the case of failure of the first sown crop, if the field is ploughed and resown with another crop in the same season, the failed crop should be ignored and the area recorded under second crop. In case no resowing is done in the same season, the area should remain recorded under the failed crop and treated as failed area.
