The copy prints amendments in square brackets without naming the amending Acts and gives no "as amended up to" date; the newest amending instrument it names is the Chota Nagpur Tenancy (Amendment) Act, 1969 (President's Act 4 of 1969), while it already carries later wording such as references to the Regional Rural Banks Act, 1976 (section 3) and the Jharkhand Municipal Act, 2002 (section 1).
The copy prints no footnotes. Omitted words are shown as "[* * *]" where the copy shows them, and its typing errors (for example "mortgagte" in section 46 and "tor" in section 6) are reproduced as printed.
Chapter VII-A is printed only as a heading with the title "[* * *]" and contains no sections.
