Land Area Unit Converter
Convert a plot area across Indian land units — square feet, square metres, gaj, ground, cent, guntha, ankanam, marla, kanal, acre and hectare. Regional units like bigha and katha vary by state — see the reference below.
Regional units — vary by state
These traditional units differ region to region. Use the local revenue-office value for anything binding.
Indicative only. The fixed units above are nationally standard. Bigha, katha, biswa and some local units vary by state and even by district — always confirm the exact conversion with the local revenue office, sub-registrar or your surveyor before a land transaction.
