The unit
The acre against local units
The acre is the reference that India's local land units are measured against: 40 guntha, 100 cents or decimals, 8 revenue kanal, and a state-dependent number of bigha — 1.61 in Uttar Pradesh, 2.5 in Gujarat.
A square acre measures about 208.71 ft on each side. Half an acre is 21,780 sq ft and a quarter acre 10,890 sq ft.

Worked example
A 2-acre farmhouse plot in Gujarat
2 acres is 2 × 43,560 = 87,120 sq ft, or 9,680 gaj.
In Gujarat's bigha of 17,424 sq ft that is exactly 5 bigha, so a seller quoting “5 bigha” and a buyer asking for “2 acres” are talking about the same land.

Questions
Frequently asked.
How many square feet is half an acre?
Half an acre is 21,780 sq ft, which is 20 guntha or 50 cents. A quarter acre is 10,890 sq ft. These figures are the same in every state, unlike a half-bigha.
How many gaj are in 1 acre?
One acre is 4,840 gaj (square yards), because 43,560 sq ft divided by 9 gives 4,840. Plotted colonies in North India are often laid out by the gaj, so this is how many gaj of land an acre gives before roads and parks are taken out.
How many guntha, cents and kanal are in an acre?
An acre is 40 guntha (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat), 100 cents or decimals (Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Bihar) and 8 kanal (Punjab, Haryana, revenue standard). All three are exact, unlike the bigha.
