(15) in acres up to 2 places of decimal separately for each plot leased-in. information pertaining to terms under which leasing-in of the plots were agreed upon would be recorded in
column (16). for recording entries in column (17), it is necessary to ascertain the type of lessor from whom the land has been taken lease. it is to be noted that in some tribal areas, the ownership of land vests with the community.

If any such land is possessed by the household on the date of survey, it will be considered as leased-in.
