·-21 The variations in the Settlement demand are due to the grants of Jagirs or resumption of Muafis. It will be seen from the foregoing table that considerable additions were made to the settlement demand during the first five years of the decade. In Samvat 1991, however, the increase dwindled down to the low figure of Rs. 2670/- and during the last four years a distinct set-back has been experienced with the result that in the year under review, the Settlement demand has gone down by Rs. 13, 819/-. Samvat 1992 was the year in which the reductions made in the land revenue demand on the basis of objection petitions filled by the cultivators was given effect to in the papers (vide para 3). The nature of changes which have resulted in this large reduction can be studied in the following table:- Items Serial number Increase Decrease Net decrease Rs.

T'accavi in this State used to be granted formerly out of State funds. A few years ago this system was supplemented by the creation of a separate special fund out Taccavi of the savings of the State temples for the purpose of distributing Taccavi. (8) From State Treasury: A sum of Rs. 11, 791/. was outstanding at the close of the last year as arrears of Taccavi · loans; Rs. 45/- were advanced during the year under report thus bringing the total to Rs. 11, 836/-. Out of this a sum of Rs. 2661/- was recovered and Rs. 10/- were remitted, leaving a balance of Rs. 9, 165/- to be recovered at the close of the year under reviery. (b) From Taccavi Funds: sum of Rs. 12, 441/- was outstanding at the close of the last year out of the amount advanced from the fund as Taccavi for the purchase of seed grains and bullocks and sinking of wells and a sum of Rs. 14, 248/- Mas advanced during the year under report thus making a total of Rs. 26, 689/-. Out of this' a sum of Rs. 7, 461/- was recovered during the year leaving a recoverable balance of Rs. 19, 238/- at the end of the year. Special efforts could not be made to realise the large recoverable balances of Taccavi owing to the current and the previous years being years of drought. The recovery of the large halances would be a problem in the near future and would require the special attention of the Revenue Department. Rules for the distribution and recovery of Taccavi require complete over-hauling and the matter will soon be taken up. 17.

·40 For purposes of Customs duties every village except the villages of Thikana Hadoti, is afiliated to one or the other outposts. Thikana Hadoti enjoys the privilege of levying its own customs duties. Other Thikanedars levy certain cesses e. g. mappa ( an excise cess ) and Bhumi ( a transit cess ) in addition to the customs duties levied by the State. The only circle which shows an increase in income in the year under review over that in the previous year is the beadoffice at Karauli. The mufassil circles all show a decline. The fall is spe cially marled in crre cf the cut-fcsts e. g., Sapotra, Kurgaon ind Machilfur and is attnbuted to scarcity conditions and gereral slackness of trade. 34. The customs schedule is an elaborate one. It has been framed with an eye to the schedules in Customs Schedulo force in the neighbouring States, specially owing to the serious lack of means of communication in the State. With a view to safeguard the interest of the trade, the schedule is revised, every year. There is a special schedulé for the Shivratrı fair, which allows special concessions with a view to stimulate trade and thereby to put the fair on a sound footing. This schedule is also revised well in advance of the fair. There was a time when Customs duties were charged on the internal movements of almost all the conmodities within the State terntories. The Darbar hare very benevolently adopted the policy of a gradual remission of this tas with the result that it is now levied only on a few commodities. There are no big industries worth mention in the State; agricultury is the chief occupation of the people. There are tid ginning and sour mills at the capital.

This station has been built on the lands of Biola Jigurders and is cut off from Il e main area of the State by clic Moich river.

·45 The marked fall in the income from Ghee, cattle and hides 15 rsppionable for the large drop in the total customs income the fall in the income from these sources was due chiefly to t32 pardual failurs of tho m723352 ani epidonic diseases among cittle The scircity of grain and fodder seriously affected the production of Ghee, as well as the trinsactions in cattle, such largely migrated to other States and Brilish India for grazing purposes No duties ara levied when cattle baso to go out of the State for grazing purposes It may also be mentioad here that cattle and goats which die of rinderpest and sheep pos are not allowed to be skınped by the villagers, and this naturally contributes towards the decrease in the income from the exports of Indes The only noticeable increase is under Sugrt, which was due to the raising of the duty on this commodity during the Shiv ratrı fair, which prevented its dumping during that period Vanufacture of Kurdi is an important Industry of the State, which levies a duty of two annas per month per hand loom in the mufassal and tro pice per rupee on its sales at Karault Sapotrz and the villages of the last named circle There was a marked and significant fall in the espor: trade of the khadi Bhaadır as the following table shows Value of export of Kbadı from Khadi Bhandar Samvat 1994 Samvat 1995 R$ 49,304 Rs 34,611 The high establishment charges of the institution keep the prices up and the high prices coupled wtb & lack of demand from outside ailected exports adversely ·48 5. 1975 1,34,829 16. 1996 6. 1976 1,43,430 17. | 1987 1,19,431 1,11,686 1,03,223 96,519 7. 1977 2,00,247 19.1988 8. 1978 2,07,971 19. 1989 9. 1979 1,77,357 20. 1990 98,945 10. 1980 21. 1991 1,04,218 1,81,162 1,54,431 11. 1931 22.1992 1,04,464 12. 1932 23. 1993 1,10,293 1,52,096 1,33,329 13. 1933 24. 1994 97,913 14. 1931 1,33,832 23. 1995 87,146 15. 1985 1,13,391 The period Samvat 1977-80 was the peak period from tho point of view of customs receipts and this was the period during which lugh prices ruled as a result of the last Great war. Oning to the catastrophic fall in prices in 1930 and the consequent depression in trade, the income has progressively declined during the last 12 years, the year under report recording the lowest figure. The table below sill show that inspite of very heavy Customs duties during the peak years, the income froin customs duties on certain important articles of trade was considerable, but has now declined, inspite of a large reduction in the Customs schedule.- ·47 Charai, which at first sight kould appear to be the business of the Forest Department, is levied by the customs department only op pick cainels and goats on the assumption that they must have grazed on road sides while in transit.

Trade in Ghee is also dwindling for various reasons among which the manufacture of vegetable ghee and tho decrease in the number of cattle are important. The reasons for the fall in Customs receipts may be sumped up in trade depression, successive bad seasons and lack of enterprise. 37.

·69 28. A special feature of the Civil judicial administration of the State is tho class of cascs known as Tastia Tasfia cases. Their objcct is to determina and redeem debts due from the Jagirdars and leading families, throogh the interventicn of the administratico. His Highness alone has the power to order tasfia of tho debts of a particular family. A special officer is then appointed by the Mahakma Khas to carry out these orders. All the creditors are notified to put in their respectivo claims against the debtor and the debts due to cach credi. tor are determined and tabulated. I ho income due to the debtor is then realised and after leaving a suitable mainte nance allowance to him is distributed an.cng the creditors proportionately. This is a useful device for the redemp. tion of debts, though the State suffers a loss in Court fees. The principles of Tasfia which are at present confused, have to be revised and rules laid down for the guidanca of the officer carrying out the Tasfia. There were two tasfia cases disposed of by dahakma Khas during the year under report. The value of these two cases amounted to Rs. 4931/- 29. There were 21 legal practitioners practising in the various courts in the State during the year Logal practitioners under report. All of them had local qua. lifications. It was only towards the end of the year that a practitioner having a law degree to his credit was ep. rolled as such. Rules are required for the control and supervision of legal practitioners. 80.

This was due partly to the ten. dency to over budget and partly to the fact that the re missions which had to be given on account of scarcity con ditions and which were expected at the time to come to Rs 50000/- were not provided for on the expenditure side As a matter of fact, a sum of Rs 26,236,. was actually found necessary to be given as remission On the expenditure side the prominent increases un der the various heads may be explained Expendituro The increase of about Rs 1000/ under the Revenue Administration is due to the restoration of the Mſehat Chhut which at the time of framing of the budget had been reduced from Rs 3/2/ to Rs 21 percent on col lections The increase in the Public Works Department Motor Garage and the Power House have seperately been explain ed The increase under refunds is due to the fact that Case work accumulated from previous years had to be disposed of and refunds granted in several of the cases in the year under report The increase under miscellaneons appears to be consi derable, but in fact it is not reaily so A sum of Rs 25190/ was due from Thikana Hadoti for some years past The Amount had been paid from the State Treasury about 8 ago It was not necessary to leave this item as outstanding any longer and therefore it was adjusted in the year under re view and shown on the expenditure side Besides the above item, Rs 4000/- vere spent on celebrations in commemoration of the elder Bhansar Sahab's first tiger shoot The total expenditure exceeded the actua) mec me by Rain 1,13,576/ This extra expenditure was met as belon years Reseres drain tipon (1) From the Centmi Bank Agra (11) From Shn Aband Bhantar Bank 42 000 16 000 ·ses tho drrangements for festivals and contiols Palace menials The establishment of Khas Madd and Rajput Sardars, Vaids, Hakims and Pandts, 19 also under him Appendıx X giveu a copy of the Stato Budget for the Fear under review 3 The income of the State has fallen considerably chucf ly owing to the catastropluc fall in prices locomo and the consequent agricultural depres A study of the last 12 years' figures given below shows that the income reached ts peak in Surat year 1984, while the lowest figure (Rs 6 67,934) was recorded in the year under report $ion Samvat year Sanctioned Budget RS Actuals Ps 1984 6,82,171 7 91 465 1985 6 69,034 6 24 331 1986 678 905 68,727 1987 6 68,425 631 018 1988 6 66,911 8,22 853 1989 661,962 6 14 000 1990 6,39,109 5.90 809 1991 6 31,511 6,02,972 1992 6,12,473 6,03 780 1993 6 27,575 6,13 248 1994 6 29 645 604 823 1995 6,20,089 567 0944 ·91 Debt due for maintenance of cattlo 4500/- 31 Racquet House 2600/- 31 Engine House 840/- 19 Amout for the purchase of a motor-car in St. 1994 adjusted 3038/- 14.
