 Maintenance of Maps and Records
-----------------------------------------------
### 8. Inspection tour.
 - In order to maintain the map and khasra, the patwari shall make at least one field-to-field inspection every year in each village of his circle. This tour shall begin from March 1 and shall be completed by June 15.
 
### 9. Copy of map for correction.
 - The patwari shall not record any changes of the copy of the map supplied to him at the last survey. He shall ordinarily make a tracing from this map for the purpose of recording changes but where the maps have been printed, he may obtain a printed copy thereof for this purpose. The map for recording changes may be used year after year until it becomes unserviceable either through wear and tear or through a large number of alterations. When it has become unserviceable, the patwari shall, under the orders of the Supervisor Kanungo, obtain from the Registrar Kanungo a new copy of the map and after showing thereon the field-boundaries, as they exist and omitting those that have disappeared, file the old map with the Registrar Kanungo after it has been signed by the Supervisor Kanungo in token of his test.
 
### 10. Correction of map.
 - During his inspection, the patwari shall compare the fields one by one with his map and shall note thereon all changes in field-boundaries and other alterations on the map after making necessary measurements. Changes in the fields may in the first instance be shown in pencil, but must afterwards be made in red ink. When a field is found to have been divided into two or more portions and one of the portions is held or cultivated by any person other than the recorded tenant, he shall give a separate number to each portion, writing the original number as numerator and the fractional number as denominator :
 
 Provided that where the portions are in the cultivatory possession of one and the same person under the same class of tenure and belong to one and the same khewat khata, they need not be given separate numbers; the division being shown in this case by dotted lines as if they were new terraces. Where some of the terraces have been dismantled, the dotted lines will be omitted.
 
 Where two or more fields in one and the same khewat khata and in the cultivatory possession of one and the same cultivator and held under the same class of tenure have been united by removal of boundaries which separated them, the entries for the field so formed shall be made opposite the first of the component fields, a reference to the combination being given in the remarks column against all the component fields.
 
 Where extensive survey operations are required at any time in order to map new cultivation, the patwari shall apply to the Supervisor Kanungo for the use of the necessary instruments and for such assistance as may be required. Such application should be made not later than February in the year in which the necessity arises. In carrying out survey, the instructions given in the Rules and Instructions for Survey of Villages should mutatis mutandis be followed. In any case the map shall be completed and the alterations inked by June 30, every year.
 
### 11. Preparation of Khasra.
 - Khasra is a field-book in which the pativari shall enter, during his inspection, all changes in boundaries and all facts required for the correction of the khatauni or for agricultural statistics. It shall be prepared in the form given below:
