Indian land units explained (and why bigha varies by state)
Land in India is bought and sold in a mix of metric units, British-era units and traditional local units. The metric and national units have fixed sizes everywhere: 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft, 1 hectare = 10,000 sq m, and 1 gaj (square yard) = 9 sq ft. An acre is also equal to about 100 Cent in the south, while a Hectare equals about 2.47 acres. In Tamil Nadu, Ground is common (1 Ground is about 2,400 sq ft), Karnataka and Maharashtra use Gunta (about 1,089 sq ft), and Punjab, Haryana and Jammu use Marla and Kanal (1 Kanal = 20 Marla).
The tricky ones are Bigha, Katha and Biswa. These are traditional units with no single national definition, so their size changes from one state — even one district — to the next. A Pucca Bigha in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar or Rajasthan is around 27,225 sq ft, but a West Bengal Bigha is only about 14,400 sq ft, and a Haryana Bigha about 10,890 sq ft. That is why this converter asks for your state: choosing the right standard is the only way to get a Bigha figure you can trust. When a deal is involved, always confirm the local Bigha with the registrar or patwari.
