Kaat (Deductions)·کاٹ
Roman Urdu: Kaat / Katti / Kati
An umbrella term for all weight/quality deductions applied during a lot transaction. Includes bardana (bag weight), nami (moisture), mitti (dirt/foreign matter), and grade-based deductions. Each kaat reduces the net payable weight to the farmer. In disputes, kaat is the single biggest source of friction — which is why Pakka Khata shows every kaat itemised on the digital parchi.
Example usage
Example: Kaat (Deductions) is shown as a separate line on the parchi so the farmer, buyer, and munshi can see the final settlement clearly.
