The unit

What is a bigha?

A bigha is a traditional land measure used across North India, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam and Gujarat. No national law fixes its size: each state's revenue practice sets it, so 1 bigha ranges from 6,804 sq ft in Uttarakhand to 27,225 sq ft in Bihar.

The bigha splits into local sub-units. In Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh it is 20 biswa (1,350 sq ft each in Uttar Pradesh). In West Bengal and Tripura it is 20 katha of 720 sq ft, in Bihar and Jharkhand 20 katha of 1,361.25 sq ft, and in Assam 5 katha of 2,880 sq ft.

The Rajasthan figure here is the pucca bigha. Some districts also use a smaller kachha bigha, which this converter does not cover — use the value in your jamabandi or the tehsil’s conversion chart.

Official land records

Worked example

The same 2.5 bigha in Agra and in Vadodara

A 2.5-bigha field near Agra, Uttar Pradesh, is 2.5 × 27,000 = 67,500 sq ft, or about 1.55 acres.

The same 2.5 bigha near Vadodara, Gujarat, is 2.5 × 17,424 = 43,560 sq ft — 1 acre. When you share a listing in bigha, always write the state next to the figure.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Why is a bigha a different size in every state?

No national law defines the bigha; each state's revenue practice sets its size, and some districts differ again. That is why 1 bigha is 27,000 sq ft in Uttar Pradesh but 9,075 sq ft in Delhi. Use the value of the state, and ideally the tehsil, where the land is recorded.

How many bigha make one acre?

It depends on the state: an acre is 1.61 bigha in Uttar Pradesh, 2.5 in Gujarat, 3.03 in West Bengal, 4.8 in Delhi and 5 in Himachal Pradesh. For any other state, divide 43,560 (sq ft in an acre) by that state's bigha in sq ft.

Which bigha value should a sale agreement use?

Write the area exactly as the land record states it — khatauni, jamabandi, khatian or 7/12 — and add the square-foot or hectare equivalent beside it. If the record gives only bigha, ask the tehsil or revenue office for the local conversion before you agree a price per bigha.
