The unit
How an acre maps to a bigha
The acre is fixed — 43,560 sq ft, or 4,840 gaj — while the bigha is a state unit. To convert, divide 43,560 by the bigha of the state where the land lies. Delhi's bigha is commonly set so that 4.8 bigha make an acre, and Himachal Pradesh's so that 5 do.
When one party quotes land in acres and the other in bigha, convert the price too: divide the price per acre by the state’s bigha-per-acre figure to get the price per bigha.

Questions
Frequently asked.
How many bigha are in 1 acre in Uttar Pradesh?
One acre is 1.61 bigha in Uttar Pradesh, using the commonly published bigha of 27,000 sq ft. Some districts, especially in the east of the state, use other values, so check the khatauni or the tehsil before you rely on it for a price.
Is the acre the same everywhere in India?
Yes. An acre is 43,560 sq ft, 4,046.86 sq m or 0.4047 hectare in every state. Only the bigha changes, which is why the same acre is 4.8 bigha in Punjab but 1.6 bigha in Bihar.
How do I convert bigha back to acres?
Multiply the bigha by the state's bigha in sq ft, then divide by 43,560. For example 3 bigha in Gujarat is 3 × 17,424 = 52,272 sq ft, which is 1.2 acres. The converter above does this in both directions.
