Jaranwala returns combine mill-related business, weaving, commission and farm income. This page explains what to include.
Cane Haulage During the Crushing Season
From November to March, tractor-trolleys and trucks from Jaranwala's villages carry cane to the mills. A farmer who hauls his own cane is part of his farming, but one who hauls for neighbours or under a contract with the mill earns freight income. The mill's payment advice shows the freight paid and the tax withheld; the return shows that freight less diesel, driver's wages, tyres, repairs and depreciation of the tractor and trolley. Keeping the mill's weighbridge slips for each trip makes the freight figure easy to prove.
Power-Loom Sheds
Weavers who work on conversion for Faisalabad processors receive yarn and return grey cloth, so their sales are the conversion charges, not the cloth's value. The return shows those charges against electricity, wages, sizing, repairs and depreciation of the looms. Sheds that buy their own yarn and sell cloth show the full purchase and sale figures instead, and must match their sales tax returns.
Arhtis in the Grain Market
The commission book is the arhti's main record. Loans given to farmers before wheat harvest are shown as receivables on 30 June, and any interest-free arrangement does not create income.
Mill Employees and Commuters
Salaried workers copy salary and withholding from their certificates. Those who changed employer during the year add both certificates together.
Family Land
Wheat, sugarcane and fodder grown on family land are declared as agricultural income, with the land listed in the wealth statement.
