Watan "Watan" means an 'inam'(gift from a ruler to a subject) for service but generally used in wider sense to denote any alienation in or land with or without service During British/pre-british period certain lands were given to particular persons for the seriveces rendered by them to the Government or to the community or to both,these lands are called "watan lands“ There were various types of Watans viz Pargana, Kulkarni, Bhil,Naik, Bara Balutedar inams, mahar watan, Jagalia, gurav, Devaasthan Watans etc In Maharashtra many of the watans were abolished during 1950-60  except Collectors were given power to decide certain questions like a) whether any land is watan land? b)whether any person is watandar? C)whether any person is an unauthorised holder? Watandars are entitled to compensation  for abolition of all his rights in the watan; in certain cases they are also entitled for regrant. On 1 Nov 1952 , all Political Inams has been abolished ( 952 Inams and 38 lakh acre land) Private Inams also abolished in 1952 ( 31,745 Inamdar and 17 Lakh acre land) Wednesday, September 19, 2018 Sachin Kalantre

Personal or "Jat" Inams. These are gifts conferred on individuals Personal or "Jat" Inams. These are gifts conferred on individuals. Some of them are in the nature of compensations. These are heritable and transferable properties of the holders or their lawful successors subject to payment of fixed dues to the Government. Political Inams, including saranjams and jahangirs, generally mean grants by the State for performance of civil or military duty or for the maintenance of the personal dignity of nobles and high officials. Some of them were guaranteed by a special treaty between the Moghals and the British Government while others were settled by the Inam Commission. In the former case, the tenure is hereditary and is to last in perpetuity, while in the latter case it is to last for a short or long period of time as fixed by the Commission. Oridinarily these inams are impartible and inalienable. There are instances in which a jahangir has been held to be partible and alienable but generally devolution of such inams is by the rule of lineal primogenitue, younger members being entitled only to maintenance. Wednesday, September 19, 2018 Sachin Kalantre

Devasthan Inams : These are lands granted to religious bodies for maintenance of temples and mosques or similar institutions. The grant is made in perpetuity and the fixed amount of land revenue is not liable to revision. Devasthan inams are ordinarily inalienable and also impartible. Succession to them is regulated by the terms of the grant and the customs and usages of endowment. The holder for the time being manages the inam in the capacity of a trustee for the benefit of the endowment. Service Inams : These are holdings of lands or rights to receive cash payments or to levy customary fees or perquisites for the performance of certain services to Government or the community. The holders of such inams or watans are divided into two classes�firstly, district officers like the desais, deshmukhs or deshpandes who were the chief instruments for the collection of revenue under the Peshwas and secondly, village officers useful to the Government like the patil or the kulkarni who were the chief instruments for the collection of revenue under the Peshwas and secondly, village officers useful to the Government like the patil or the kulkarni who were provided adequate remuneration in the shape of lands or cash, and village servants useful to the community such as the hajams, kumbhars, lohars, suthars, mochis, and other village artisans.
