Kachra (Spoilage Deduction)·کچرا
Roman Urdu: Kachra / Kachara
Kachra is the waste/spoilage deduction on perishable fruit and vegetables — the rotten, crushed, over-ripe or unsellable portion of a lot that is removed before settling the daam. It is the fruit/veg counterpart of grain's kaat (which is mostly bardana, nami and mitti). Because sabzi like tomato and leafy greens spoil fast in transit and at the mandi, kachra can be a meaningful percentage, so it is shown on the parchi to keep the kissan's settlement transparent.
Example usage
Example: Kachra (Spoilage Deduction) is shown as a separate line on the parchi so the farmer, buyer, and munshi can see the final settlement clearly.
