<svar a="all" v="IN87A041 IN87A042 IN87A043 IN87A044 IN87A045 IN87A046">5.3.10 <span class="em">Item 7-11: Land area</span>: The area of land (in 0.00 hectares) 'owned', 'leased in', neither owned nor leased in' and 'leased out' by the household as on the date of survey will be ascertained and recorded against the items 7, 8, 9 and 10 respectively. The total land area possessed by the household will be worked out as item 7+8+9-10 and recorded against item 11 in 2 places of decimal. A piece of land is considered to be owned by the household if permanent heritable possession with or without the right to transfer the title is vested in a member or the members of the household. Land held in owner like possession say, under perpetual lease, hereditary tenure, long term leases for 30 years or more etc., will also be considered as land owned. For a piece of land under the possession of the household, if the household lacks title of ownership and also it does not have any lease agreement for the use of land transacted either verbally or in writing, such land will be considered as neither owned nor 1 seed in. In collecting information regarding 'land possessed', the actual position as obtaining on the date of survey will be considered. It may be noted that the 'area of land' to be recorded against these items should not include the area of land owned, leased out, leased in, etc., by servant/paying guest who are considered as the normal members of the household.<br /></svar>
