NOTE: ̶ See rule 27 for Sugarcane fields re-sown with other crops:

25. Charge leviable for the irrigation of mixed crops . ̶ If mixed crops be grown in the same field, the occupier's rate shall be calculated on the highest Section. 36. rated crop. If different crops be grown in different parts of the same field the occupier's rate for the whole shall be calculated on the highest rated crop, unless the division between crops shall have been clearly defined by a ridge not less than half a foot high.

26. Charge leviable for Arhar crop . ̶ (1) Arhar sown with any other crops and irrigated shall be subject to the rules of assessment for mixed crops for Section. 36. the fasl in which it is irrigated.

(1) Arhar when sown alone and irrigated in the Kharif Fasl shall be assessed at the Rabi rate, even if subsequently it is not irrigated in the Rabi Fasl.

27. Charges leviable on Fields Re-sown. ̶ (1) If an irrigated Rabi or Kharif crop, other than Sugarcane, fails for any cause beyond the control of the Section. 36. occupier and the field is ploughed up and re-sown with another crop and subsequently irrigated in the same season, the occupier's rate leviable shall be that due on the highest rate of the crops sown in the field during that season.

Explanation. ̶ The failure due to flooding of a Kharif crop sown in land which is usually flooded in the monsoon shall be deemed to be a cause within the control of the occupier.

(2) Sugarcane which has been irrigated but fails to germinate or is destroyed owing to causes beyond the occupiers’ control before the break of the mansoon shall not be charged for irrigation but, if the field is re ̶ sown with another crop and subsequently irrigated in the same Kharif season, the occupier's rate leviable shall be that due on the crop which comes to maturity.

(3) If sugarcane, which has been irrigated fails or is destroyed after the break of the monsoon by any cause beyond the control of the occupier, and if the field is re-ploughed and another crop of any kind is sown and subsequently irrigated in the same Kharif season, the occupier's rate leviable shall be that due on the crop which comes to maturity.

(4) Sugarcane which has been irrigated but fails or is destroyed after the break of the monsoon owing to having been sown on land which is usually flooded, or owing to any other cause within the control of the occupier, shall be charged the full occupier's rate, but if the field is re ploughed and another crop of any kind is sown and subsequently irrigated in the same Kharif season, no occupier's rate shall be leviable on the second crop.

(5) If a rabi crop is sown and irrigated subsequently to the cutting of the Kharif crop in a field on which irrigation rates have been levied in the preceding Kharif in accordance with sub ̶ rules (2),

(3) or (4) of this rule, the occupier's rate for the Rabi crop shall be levied in addition to that for the Kharif and/or for the sugarcane crop.

28. Charge leviable on fields partly irrigated . ̶ If only a portion of a field be irrigated the occupier's rate shall be chargeable on the whole field unless such Section. 36. portion have been clearly demarked by ridge not less than half-a-foot high.

29. Charge leviable on field partly irrigated from Canal and partly from well or other source. ̶ Where a portion of a field has been irrigated with canal Section. 36. water, and another portion is irrigated with water from a well or any other source the whole field is liable for canal occupier's rate, unless a clearly distinguishable boundary, demarcated by a ridge not less than half-a-foot high, exists between the two portions.

30. Use of canal water courses for conveyance of water from a well or any other source. ̶ If water from a well or any other source is conveyed in the Section. 36. same channel as Canal water in the course of the same season, the whole of the irrigation from that channel during such season is liable to be treated as irrigation from the canal.

31. Charge leviable for water used without permission, or at time prohibited by proper authority, or for the irrigation of debarred fields. ̶ Section. 36. (1) Persons using water without permission or at time prohibited by proper authority (i.e. during closed day) or for the irrigation of a field which has been debarred from canal irrigation under rule 10, shall, in addition to the ordinary rate which would be leviable, be chargeable with punitive rate equal to the above ordinary rate for each separate and distinct occasion on which water is so used; provided that in every such case the Divisional Irrigation Officer may impose a lower charge if he thinks fit.

(2) In the case, however, of persons wilfully cutting the banks or placing bunds in the bed of a canal for the purpose of irrigating their fields the punitive rate may in each such case, at the discretion of the Divisional Officer, be increased to six times the ordinary rate.

(3) If the water has been so used for irrigation, the area irrigated shall be measured, and notice shall at once be given on each such occasion to the persons concerned that they will be charged in the demand statement under this rule for the area so watered.

1 (4) ―In case the Irrigation charges as prescribed in the Schedule II appended to the Irrigation and Drainage Rules, 1955, are not paid by the due date the charges at the penal rate of 12% per annum shall be recovered on the amount to be paid.‖

Explanation.—The expression ―due date‖ means the date prescribed by the Irrigation Department from time to time in this connection.

32. Charge leviable on crops injured by failure of supply, floods etc. ̶ (1) If a crop which has been irrigated with canal water is subsequently injured by Section. 36. failure or stoppage of supply, or, by locusts, hail, rain, floods or other calamity, and, if in the opinion of Divisional Irrigation Officer the injury, is not due to the negligence of the cultivator, or if the injury, to the crop being a Kharif crop, is not due to its having been sown on land which is usually flooded during the rainy season, the rate to be charged for the irrigation of the crop shall be such proportion of the ordinary rate as may be determined by the Divisional Irrigation Officer acting under the general instructions of the State Government and in consultation with the Collector.

(2) Reductions of water ̶ rates under this rule shall, so far as is possible, be made before the Jamabandies are despatched to the Collector's offices. All claims for remissions subsequently received on the grounds of injury from locusts, hail, rain, floods or other calamity shall be dealt with in accordance with the procedure laid down in rule 20 for claims on account of loss from failure or stoppage of supply.
