Indian land unit converter
Indian Land Area Converter
Convert Indian land area units such as Gaj, square feet, acre, hectare, cent, guntha, kanal, marla, bigha, katha, dhur, and regional variants.
Use this Indian land area converter to convert gaj, square feet, square meters, acre, hectare, cent, guntha, kanal, marla, bigha, katha, dhur, biswa, and other regional units. It is designed for fast comparison when property listings, local records, and conversations use different land measurement systems.
Common engineering uses
- Convert gaj to square feet, square feet to gaj, acre to bigha, bigha to acre, katha to square feet, and similar everyday land-unit checks.
- Compare standard metric and imperial area units with traditional Indian property units.
- Review regional unit assumptions before discussing a plot, listing, or land record.
Outputs to review
- Converted area in the selected target unit plus common reference units.
- Square feet and square meters as base comparison values.
- Notes for regional units whose values can change by state, district, or local practice.
How to use this tool
- Enter a land area value.
- Select a standard or regional Indian input unit.
- Convert to another land unit and review square feet, square meters, gaj, acres, and hectares.
- Check local revenue-record conventions for variable units such as bigha, katha, biswa, and dhur.
How to use the result
Choose the input unit, enter the value, and select the target unit. For standard units the conversion is fixed. For traditional units such as bigha, katha, biswa, and dhur, check that the selected regional definition matches the local record or transaction context. When comparing a property listing with a sale deed or revenue record, first convert both values to square feet or square meters, then convert back to the local unit only after confirming the region-specific factor. If two parties quote the same local unit but different areas, record the assumed square-foot factor beside the result so the difference is visible before any negotiation, tax estimate, registration discussion, or site visit.
Assumptions, limitations, and formulas
Assumptions
All conversions use square feet as the common base unit.
Gaj is treated as square yard, so 1 gaj equals 9 square feet.
Cent and decimal are treated as 435.6 square feet, equal to 1/100 acre.
Limitations
Traditional units can vary by state, district, and local revenue practice.
The converter is a comparison aid and should not replace local land-record verification for property transactions.
Formula notes
Area in square feet = input value x selected unit square-foot factor.
Target value = square feet / target unit square-foot factor.
Common questions
How many square feet are in one gaj?
One gaj is treated as one square yard, so 1 gaj equals 9 square feet and 100 gaj equals 900 square feet.
Why do bigha and katha values vary?
Traditional land units can vary by state, district, and local revenue practice. The converter includes regional variants, but property decisions should use the value accepted by the local land record authority.
Can this converter replace official land records?
No. It is a comparison tool. For property purchase, registration, taxation, or legal work, verify the conversion against official local records and a qualified professional where needed.
