How it works
The maths, in plain words.
- 01
Fixed units are exact
1 sq yd (gaj) = 9 sq ft; 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft; 1 guntha = 1/40 acre = 1,089 sq ft; 1 cent = 1/100 acre = 435.6 sq ft; 1 ground = 2,400 sq ft; 1 ankanam = 72 sq ft; 1 hectare ≈ 107,639 sq ft.
- 02
Bigha, biswa and katha depend on the state
A bigha is 27,000 sq ft in Uttar Pradesh, 17,424 in Gujarat, 14,400 in West Bengal and Assam, and 9,075 in Delhi — so pick the state before converting. Values can also differ by district; local revenue records win.
- 03
Marla and kanal
The revenue marla used in Punjab, Haryana and nearby states is 272.25 sq ft (a kanal is 20 marla, 5,445 sq ft). Many urban colonies use a 225 sq ft marla instead — switch the standard if that applies.
