Bardana (Gunny Bag)·بردانہ

Roman Urdu: Bardana / Wardana

The empty gunny bag (jute, polypropylene PP, or PP-laminated) used to hold grain. The weight of bardana — typically 0.5 to 1.5 kg per bag — is deducted from the gross lot weight to calculate the net grain weight. Per-bag deduction rules vary by mandi, crop, and bag type, which makes manual tracking error-prone. Pakka Khata's Bardana module sets the rule once and applies it to every lot automatically.

Example usage

Example: Bardana (Gunny Bag) is shown as a separate line on the parchi so the farmer, buyer, and munshi can see the final settlement clearly.

Frequently asked: Bardana (Gunny Bag)

How much does a typical bardana bag weigh?+
Jute: ~1.0–1.5 kg. PP woven: 0.5–0.8 kg. PP-laminated (printed): 0.7–1.0 kg. The exact deduction depends on the bag type your mandi uses.
Who owns the bardana — adhati, kissan, or beopari?+
Typically the adhati issues the bardana to the kissan; when the lot sells, the bardana stays with the buyer's truck and the adhati restocks. Some mandis charge the kissan, others absorb it.
Why is bardana tracked separately from kaat?+
Bardana is a measurable, physical-weight deduction. Kaat is the broader category that includes bardana, nami (moisture), mitti (dirt). Keeping them separate prevents double-counting and disputes.
