About Land Measurement Units in India
Land area calculations vary significantly across India due to historical regional units. This calculator uses standard conversions to map local units to global standards:
- Square Feet (sq ft) to Gaj: 1 Gaj (Square Yard) is equal to exactly 9 square feet.
- Acre to Sq Ft: 1 Standard Acre is equal to 43,560 square feet.
- Bigha: Typically, 1 Standard Bigha is equal to 27,000 square feet (often used in Northern India), though local variations exist.
- Guntha: Widely used in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka. 1 Guntha equals 1,089 square feet (exactly 1/40th of an acre).
- Cent: Used in Southern states (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh). 1 Cent is equal to 435.6 square feet (exactly 1/100th of an acre).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
In standard measurements, 1 Bigha equals 27,000 square feet. However, in states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, it can range from 17,424 sq ft to 27,225 sq ft depending on the local classification (Pucca or Kutcha Bigha).
A Guntha is a traditional unit of area in India. 1 Guntha equals exactly 1,089 square feet. There are 40 Gunthas in a single Acre of land.
To convert Gaj to Square Feet, multiply the value by 9 (since 1 Yard = 3 Feet, and 1 Square Yard = 3 x 3 = 9 Square Feet). For example, 100 Gaj is equal to 900 square feet.
