Convert Indian land measurements accurately by state
Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries answered for you
It depends entirely on the state. For example, in UP (Pucca Bigha), 1 Acre is approx 1.6 Bighas. In Rajasthan (Kaccha Bigha), 1 Acre can be 2.5 Bighas. Always check the state-specific unit.
In Bihar (Patna), 1 Katha is usually 1361.25 sq ft. However, in West Bengal, 1 Katha is 720 sq ft. This calculator allows you to select the state for accurate conversion.
Land measurement units like Bigha, Katha, and Guntha are historical and regional. Official government records often use Hectares or Sq. Meters to standardize these measurements.
Additional Information
Understanding Indian Land Units
In India, land measurement units change every few hundred kilometers. While Acres and Hectares are standard international units, most rural land deals in India happen in local units like Bigha, Katha, Guntha, or Biswa.
Important Conversions
- 1 Acre = 43,560 Square Feet
- 1 Hectare = 2.47 Acres
- 1 Guntha = 1,089 Square Feet (common in Maharashtra)
- 1 Ground = 2,400 Square Feet (common in Tamil Nadu)

- Enter the area value.
- Get instant results in standard Square Feet, Acres, and Hectares.
What is Land Area Converter?
Land Area Converter is a specialized tool for Indian farmers and real estate buyers. In India, land units change from state to state. One 'Bigha' in Punjab is different from a 'Bigha' in Bihar. This tool handles these regional variations (Bigha, Guntha, Katha, Biswa) and converts them to standard units like Acres, Hectares, or Square Feet.
📊 Practical Example
"If you have 5 Bighas of land in Uttar Pradesh, simply select 'Uttar Pradesh' and enter '5 Bigha'. The calculator will instantly tell you that this equals roughly 1.25 Acres (approx, varies by district). Without this conversion, you might miscalculate the land value."
⚠️ Common Mistake
Assuming 1 Bigha is the same everywhere. It is NOT. Always select the correct state before converting. Also, ignoring standard units (Sq Ft) which are necessary for legal documentation.
