What is Bandobast in Delhi?
Settlementबंदोबस्त
The survey and settlement operation that fixed the village's Khasra numbers, boundaries and revenue. Delhi's records rest on settlements carried out long before the city grew over them, which is why a Khasra number can sit under a modern colony and still be the legal description of the land.
