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.

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.
