A Journey through the Kingdom of Oude, Volumes I & II

CHAPTER IV
43/79

If any of them fail to pay what they promise to the Jumogdar, the landholder is bound to make good the deficiency at the end of the year.

He also binds himself to pay to Government whatever may be due over and above what the tenants pledge themselves to pay to the Jumogdar.

This transfer of responsibility, from the landholder to his tenants, is called "_Jumog Lagana_," or transfer of the jumma.

The assembly of the tenants, for the purpose of such-adjustment, is called _zunjeer bundee_, or linking together.
The adjustment thus made is called the _bilabundee_.

The salary of the Jumogdar is paid by the landholder, who distributes the burthen of the payment upon his tenants, at a per centage rate.
