Jijaji Chhat Per Hain (English: Is Brother-In-Law on Terrace?) is an Indian Hindi language sitcom TV show that premiered on 9 January 2018 on SAB TV. The show involves Murari (Anup Upadhyay), who constantly tries to control his daughter, Elaichi (Hiba Nawab), a street smart and free spirited girl, and their helpless tenant, Pancham (Nikhil Khurana), an aspiring music director.[2] It is produced by Edit II Production.

Plot

Murari Bansal (Anup Upadhyay) is a lehenga shop owner in Chandni Chowk, Delhi who lives with his nagging wife Karuna, (Soma Rathod), and a free-spirited and outspoken daughter, Elaichi (Hiba Nawab). Half of the Chandni Chowk is infatuated by Elaichi but she considers them unsuitable for her. Rebellious Elaichi has several tricks up her sleeve. She continues to go to school by intentionally flunking each year in eleventh standard, even at the age of 21, to avoid living the grown-up life and dodging marriage.

The twist in the tale comes when Murari rents out his rooftop room/ 'barsati' to Pancham (Nikhil Khurana), a 24-year-old boy from Agra who aspires to be a music director. Pancham moved to Delhi with his best friend, Pintu (Harveer Singh), both of whom have limited resources to bank on. To make his ends meet, he ends up working in Murari's shop as an assistant. Since Murari is principally determined to not rent his 'barsati' (room on Rooftop) to bachelors, Pancham fakes about being married and disguises Pintu, as a woman posing as his wife. However, Elaichi figures out what is going on and takes an instant liking of Pancham's mild and innocent behavior.

The story goes on from here as Pancham tries to balance his dream of becoming a music director, his work and concealing his wife's 'secret', whereas Elaichi constantly flirts with Pancham and teases him with jokes and pranks, while Murari tries to control her daughter's behavior in the most unsuccessful of ways.
