s. f. (M.), ) Rent paid by a cultivator to the owner of land. There are two kinds of rent in use—(1) that paid to the superior proprietor or zamiṇdár and called mukkaddamí, hakk zamiṇdárí or málikáná; (2) that paid to the inferior proprietor or chakdár, and called Lichh or Kasúr. Lichh is used on the Indus and Kasúr on the Chenab and in the Multan district. The amount of lichh is almost invariably fixed by custom at one-seventeenth or one-sixteenth of the rahkám or tenant's share, and hence is often-known by the names of the rate paid, i. e., solháṇ satárháṇ, and solh satárhí, i. e., sixteen shares for the tenant and seventeenth for the landlord and aḍháí será man, i. e. 2½ seers in the maund, which equals one sixteenth of a maund:—walwíṇ lichh, s. f. A returned lichh. When land is mortgaged to a Muhammadan on the understanding that the mortgagee shall cultivate the land, in order to clear himself from the religious offence of taking interest for his money, he agrees to pay some small share of the produce called walwíṇ or returned lichh, and khutí to the mortgagor. When land is mortgaged to a Hindu, and the mortgagor remains in cultivating possession, the share of the crop paid to the mortgagee as interest on the mortgage-money is usually fixed at the rate of lichh prevailing in the neighbourhood. Hence this share, really paid as interest, is called lichh.
