Why Land Measurement
Conversions Are Complex
Understanding the complexity behind India's diverse land measurement systems
India's rich agricultural heritage has resulted in a complex system of land measurements that varies significantly from state to state. What might be called a "Bigha" in Bihar differs completely from a "Bigha" in Rajasthan, creating confusion for property buyers, farmers, and real estate professionals across the country.
Our land measurement calculators solve this problem by providing state-specific, accurate conversions that work instantly in your browser. No data is sent to our servers - all calculations happen locally on your device, ensuring both speed and privacy.
Understanding India's Regional Land Measurement Systems
India's land measurement diversity stems from centuries of regional governance, varying agricultural practices, and cultural influences. Each region developed measurement systems suited to local needs, creating the complex landscape we see today.
North Indian Land Units
Northern states predominantly use Bigha, Biswa, Kanal, and related subdivisions, but values vary significantly between states.
Bigha Variations:
- • Uttar Pradesh: 27,000 sq.ft
- • Bihar: 27,220 sq.ft
- • Haryana: 27,225 sq.ft
- • Punjab: 9,070 sq.ft
- • Himachal Pradesh: 8,712 sq.ft
- • Uttarakhand: 6,804 sq.ft
Related Units:
- • Kanal: 5,445 sq.ft (J&K, Punjab, Haryana)
- • Marla: 272.25 sq.ft (20 Marla = 1 Kanal)
- • Killa/Ghumaon: 43,560 sq.ft (= 1 Acre)
- • Biswa: 1/20th of Bigha in most states
- • Biswansi: 1/20th of Biswa
South Indian Land Units
Southern states often use Cent, Ground, Guntha, and Ankanam, reflecting colonial influence and regional agricultural practices.
Common Units:
- • Cent: 435.6 sq.ft (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka)
- • Ground: 2,400 sq.ft (Tamil Nadu)
- • Guntha: 1,089 sq.ft (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka)
- • Ankanam: 72 sq.ft (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka)

Regional Variations:
- • 1 Acre = 100 Cent (standardized)
- • 1 Acre = 605 Ankanams
- • 1 Ground = 5.5 Cent (Tamil Nadu)
- • 1 Guntha = 40 sq.yd (Maharashtra style)
- • Hectare commonly used for large areas
East Indian Land Units
Eastern states use unique combinations influenced by Bengali culture and British colonial administration.
Bengal System:
- • Bigha: 14,400 sq.ft (West Bengal, Assam)
- • Katha: 720 sq.ft (Bengal), 2,880 sq.ft (Assam)
- • Decimal: 48.4 sq.yd (West Bengal)
- • Chatak: 180 sq.ft (West Bengal)
Bihar-Jharkhand System:
- • Katha: 1,361.25 sq.ft (Bihar)
- • Dhur: 68.0625 sq.ft (Bihar, Jharkhand)
- • 1 Bigha = 20 Katha (Bihar)
- • 1 Katha = 20 Dhur (Bihar)
Historical Development of Indian Land Measurements
The diversity in India's land measurement systems reflects the country's rich historical tapestry. Ancient kingdoms, colonial powers, and regional rulers each contributed to the complex measurement landscape we navigate today.
Ancient Period (Before 1000 CE)
Early Indian texts like Arthashastra mention various measurement units. Regional kingdoms developed systems based on local agricultural needs and administrative convenience.
Medieval Period (1000-1700 CE)
Mughal administration standardized some measurements but regional variations persisted. The concept of "Bigha" became widespread during this period, though with different values across territories.
Colonial Period (1700-1947)
British administration attempted standardization but often adapted to local customs. The introduction of Acre and systematic land surveys created a hybrid system combining traditional and modern measurements.
Post-Independence (1947-Present)
While the metric system was officially adopted, traditional units remained deeply embedded in rural areas and continue to be used alongside modern measurements.
Impact on Agriculture and Rural Economy
Traditional land measurements directly impact India's agricultural sector, which employs over 40% of the country's workforce. Farmers, agricultural officers, and policy makers must navigate these complex systems daily.
Agricultural Applications
- • Crop planning and seed calculation
- • Fertilizer and pesticide application rates
- • Irrigation water allocation
- • Yield estimation and reporting
- • Government subsidy calculations
- • Crop insurance documentation
Economic Implications
- • Property valuation accuracy
- • Land acquisition compensation
- • Agricultural loan processing
- • Revenue collection systems
- • Development project planning
- • Investment decision making
Modern Challenges and Solutions
As India modernizes and integrates with global markets, the need for standardized, easily convertible land measurements becomes increasingly critical. Digital transformation in agriculture, real estate, and governance requires seamless unit conversions.
Digital Revolution Impact
