Hello Chekkutty Fusly was a local calendar year used in Canara and Northern Malabar. I don't know where it comes from but Fusly 1274 is 1864-65 AD. Hobson Jobson says FUSLY , adj. Ar. -- P. fa?li, relating to the fa?l, season or crop. This name is applied to certain solar eras established for use in revenue and other civil transactions, under the Mahommedan rule in India, to meet the inconvenience of the lunar calendar of the Hijra, in its want of correspondence with the natural seasons. Three at least of these eras were established by Akbar, applying to different parts of his dominions, intended to accommodate themselves as far as possible to the local calendars, and commencing in each case with the Hijra year of his accession to the throne (A.H. 963=A.D. 1555-56), though the month of commencement varies. [See Ain, ed. Jarrett, ii. 30.] The Fa?li year of the Deccan again was introduced by Shah Jehan when settling the revenue system of the Mahratta country in 1636; and as it starts with the Hijra date of that year, it is, in numeration, two years in advance of the others. Two of these fa?li years are still in use, as regards revenue matters, viz. the Fa?li of Upper India, under which the Fa?li year 1286 began 2nd April 1878; and that of Madras, under which Fasli year 1286 began 1st July 1877.
