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 vests in a member or members of the household. Land held in owner-like possession say, under perpetual lease, hereditary tenure, long term lease 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 does not have lease agreement for the use of land transacted, either verbally or in writing, such land will be considered as 'neither owned nor leased in'. In collecting information regarding land possessed, the actual position as obtained on the data of survey will be considered. It may be noted that the ' area of land possessed' to be recorded against this item should not include the area of land owned, leased in etc., by the servants/paying guests who are considered as normal members of the household. Entry will be made in two-digited code. In case of land possessed less than 0.005 hectare or nil,
code 01 is to be recorded.
