In the 4th year the charges of 5 per cent. and one dám for each bígha were collected and this is still in force.

In Banjar land for the 1st year, one or two sers are taken from each bígha; in the 2nd year, 5 sers; in the 3rd year, a sixth of the produce; in the 4th year, a fourth share together with one dám: in other years a third suffices. This varies somewhat during inundations. In all cases the hus­bandman may pay in money or kind as is most convenient. Banjar land at the foot of the hills and land subject to inundations in the districts of

Sanbal* and Bahráich, do not remain as banjar, for so much new soil is brought down with the overflow that it is richer and more productive than polaj. His Majesty, however, in his large munificence places it in the same class. It is in the option of the cultivator to pay in ready money or by kankút* or bhaoli.
