Kist

கிஸ்தி

The land tax/revenue paid yearly on a survey number, recorded in the chitta/adangal.

Kist is the land revenue or tax payable every year on a survey number, assessed from its extent, classification, and irrigation source.

The kist figure is recorded in the chitta/adangal and on the patta, and paying it keeps the record current. Demand and payment history are verified during patta transfers and bank valuations.

When you hear 'kist receipts', it refers to the annual land tax payment receipts for a survey number — one of the documents lenders commonly request.
