Question

State whether the given statement is true or false; it is said that the record of ownership of agricultural and non-agricultural land is the same.
A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Hint: Recall if there is any difference in the record of ownerships of the two lands, agricultural and non-agricultural. If there is then try to understand what the difference is or where each of the records is made. So try to understand the similarity or difference and we will be able to reach the correct answer. We should be careful since there are only two options, we must understand the question carefully.

Complete answer:
We know that in Extract $7/12$, the ownership of agricultural land is registered. So that is a replica of the land records that is stored in the public revenue department's registers. That means that it provides valuable information about the family's land rights, the status of debts and loans, the transfer of possession, and the region under various crops. So this record is a vital measure of a property's legal standing.

On the other hand, a property card is used to track who owns non-agricultural land. We know that in the city's land records this can be found. It includes information about ownership rights, the size of the land, the plot number, the amount of tax, and the right of access, among other things. So basically when we compare the two, it is true when we say that the ownership record of non-agricultural property is identical or same as that of agricultural land.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Let us see what are the differences between these two records that is (i)$7/12$ Extract and (ii) property card. We know that the needed information about the registered land is obtained using both the $7/12$ extract and the property card. But $7/12$ Extract is an extract from the public revenue department's land records registers. It gives necessary information about the family's land rights, the status of debts and loans, the transfer of possession, and the region under various crops. This means that this record is a key indication of a property’s legal standing (agriculture land).

But when a piece of land is situated in a city, the particulars of the property's ownership, such as the survey number and plot number, are reported in the property card, which are there in the land records of the city.
