Hi All,
I finally got the official explanation given 
at http://www.india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/GWL/GWL.html?
Here is what it says

Groundwater is an important source of drinking and agriculture in our 
country. But this is hard to be explored and analyzed being flowing in 
sub-surface. The level of water below ground is temporal and dynamic in 
nature. It is mainly controlled by rainfall pattern in relation to the 
aquifer material. Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and State Ground water 
departments have implanted monitoring wells and measure ground water level 
regularly.

The GW Level module provides the available water level data for 29 states & 
7 UTs (excluding some hilly regions of north and north east India) for the 
period 1994 to 2016 as received from CGWB. It contains a layer having 
locations of more than 30,000 observation wells with 16 attributes (11 
static and 5 temporal). Further, water level data is grouped according to 
four seasons viz.

   - Post-monsoon Rabi (January to March)
   - Pre monsoon (April to June)
   - Monsoon (July to September)
   - Post-monsoon Kharif (October to December)

The user can view season wise water level of individual or multiple wells 
in graphical form as per predefined area as well as administrative/basin 
boundary. One can also assess the water level changes and compare its 
dynamic fluctuation in spatial and temporal domain through this sub info 
system.

Dear all,
I am extremely sorry for wrongly ascribing months to the seasons in my 
previous post. Here is the right interpretation:
Monsoon - June to Aug (GW level recorded in Aug)
Post monsoon Kharif - Sept to Nov (GW level recorded in Nov)
Post monsoon Rabi - Dec to Jan (GW level recorded in Jan)
Pre-monsoon - Feb to May (GW level recorded in May)

regards
sashi
