Indian Land Unit Converter

Convert common Indian land units while keeping regional bigha and katha conventions explicit.

Examples

Common names and spellings

Depending on the region or document, bigha may appear as biga, bhiga, beega, beegha, or vigha; katha may appear as kattha or cottah; guntha may appear as gunta; decimal may appear as dismil, satak, or shatak; gaj may appear as gaz; cent may appear as cents; are may appear as ares; ground may appear as grounds; hectare may appear as hectares; kanal may appear as kanals; and marla may appear as marlas. These names do not establish a universal area, so always select the matching state convention.

Important regional note

Bigha and katha are not national units with one universal value. Select the convention that matches the land record or property listing. If the local record uses another convention, treat this result as a reference and confirm it with the relevant revenue authority.

Sources

Regional factors are based on government and government-hosted land-record references including the Government of India e-Governance Standards area-unit reference and the Assam revenue glossary.
