How to Use Land Area Converter (India)
- Select your state – choose from the dropdown that includes UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Punjab, Haryana, MP, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and others. This is crucial because Bigha and Katha sizes vary by state.
- Enter the value and choose the input unit – type the number of Bigha, Acre, Square Feet, or any other unit you have. The “From Unit” dropdown includes all units relevant to the selected state.
- See all equivalent units at once – the result table shows the converted value in every unit: sq ft, sq m, sq yd (gaj), acre, hectare, bigha, katha, gunta, cent, marla, kanal, and ground, all calculated from the state‑specific conversion factors.
- Read the disclaimer – the tool prominently notes that exact values can vary by district, so you should always confirm with local land records before finalising a transaction.

- Includes all major Indian land units: Bigha, Katha, Gunta, Cent, Marla, Kanal, Ground, and Gaj, in addition to standard units like acre, hectare, and square feet.
- State‑specific conversion factors are built in using real values from land records, so you don't have to Google “1 bigha in sq ft in UP” every time.
- Result table shows all units simultaneously, making it easy to compare and understand land measurements across different regional systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 1 Bigha mean different sizes in different states?
Bigha is a traditional unit that was never standardised nationally. Each princely state and British administrative region defined its own Bigha size. After Independence, states continued using their historical definitions. That's why you must always select the correct state in this converter.
What is the difference between Pucca Bigha and Kachcha Bigha?
Pucca Bigha is a standardised, larger unit (commonly 27,225 sq ft in Rajasthan and UP). Kachcha Bigha is smaller and varies more widely. In Haryana and Punjab, 1 Kachcha Bigha is around 9,070 sq ft. This tool includes both where applicable.
Can I convert Gunta or Cent using this tool?
Yes. Gunta (used in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh) and Cent (used in Kerala, Tamil Nadu) are included. The conversion factors are 1 Gunta = 1,089 sq ft and 1 Cent = 435.6 sq ft.
