Sirdar Gurdit Singh (1807 – 1882) was the eldest son of Sirdar Hari Singh Nalwa. After the martyrdom of Sirdar Hari Singh Nalwa, a dispute arose among his sons as to who will acquire his estates. At this Maharaja Ranjit Singh confiscated all estates of Hari Singh Nalwa and fixed pension for his widow and the four sons. Gurdit Singh was given 2200 rupees as annual pension (Partap Singh got 5400, Arjan Singh got 6500, Jawahar Singh got 5500). When British occupied the Punjab, he was given only an allowance of rupees 480 per year. In 1877, his brother Sirdar Jawahar Singh died. Gurdit Singh inherited the estate of Jawahar Singh too. Gurdit Singh died in 1882.
