Abstract

<jats:p>The research is titled ‘The role of Lambardar in the Malia collection process and its procedure in district Mandi Bahauddin. The study had seen how beneficial can be the role of Lambardar in the Malia collection process and how much Lambardar as a stakeholder is important in this process. Interviews of almost every stakeholder of this Malia collection process were taken such as local landowners of villages of Mandi Bahauddin, Chokidar, government officials like Tehsildar and the Lambardars of different villages. It was seen that the tax collection process was well structured and the Lambardar had the key role in this process. Although there were some recommendations like in many villages (other than chaks) had no Chokidar who help the Lambardar in collecting Malia. So it was difficult for big villages to collect Malia on time as there was no subordinate to help them in collecting Malia. It was recommended that Lambardars should have subordinates to collect Malia so that it can be gathered on time and the process should become smoother.</jats:p>
