Lekhpals are recruited by the Department of Revenue(Rajaswa Vibhag) of the state. Before getting to the difference we must know, the Rajswa Vibhag is divided into two departments (i) the Rajaswa Parishad (or Rajaswa Council) and the Chakbandi Vibhag (or Consolidation Department). Those Lekhpals (or accountants) who come under the Rajswa Parishad, we call them Rajaswa Lekhpal, whereas those who come under the Chakbandi Vibhag, we call them as Chakbandi Lekhpal. The functions of chakbandi lekhpal or rajaswa lekhpal is almost the same, their main task is to inspect & protect the agricultural field in rural areas, maintaining records of the crop lands, income collection, birth registration, support in census work, and considering environmental problems.
