Note: Square Feet, Square Meter, Square Yard, Acre and Hectare are internationally standardised units and don't vary by region. Guntha, Cent, Ground, Kanal, Marla, Bigha, Biswa and Killa are traditional local units used across specific Indian states and can vary slightly by region and local custom.

How & Why to Use the Land Area Converter
Land in India is bought, sold and recorded in a dozen different units depending on which state you're in. Here's how to use this tool properly, and why it matters more than you might think.
How to Use This Converter
Step 1
Enter your area value
Type the number into the "Area Value" field — whatever's written on your sale deed, property listing, or khata extract.
Step 2
Select the unit you're converting from
Click the matching button — Sq Ft, Acre, Guntha, Cent, Bigha, or any of the 13 supported units — to tell the tool what your number represents.
Step 3
Read the results instantly
The highlight strip and full table update live, showing your area converted into every other unit — no "Calculate" button needed.
Step 4
Double-check regional units locally
For Bigha, Biswa, Kanal, Marla and Killa, cross-verify the exact local figure with your sub-registrar or land records office before relying on it for a transaction.
Why You Need a Land Area Converter
Comparing Listings
Property listings mix units across states
A plot quoted in Guntha in Bengaluru can't be compared to one quoted in Cent in Kochi unless you convert both to a common unit like square feet first.
Avoiding Fraud
Regional units are easy to misrepresent
Because Bigha and Biswa vary by state and district, sellers can (deliberately or not) quote a favourable figure. Converting to standard units protects you from under- or over-paying.
Loans & Valuation
Banks and valuers use standard units
Home loans, loan-against-property, and bank valuations are almost always computed in square feet or square meters — you'll need an accurate conversion to cross-check the numbers.
RERA & Legal Documents
Sale deeds and RERA filings need precision
Registration documents, RERA disclosures, and property tax records typically require area in square feet or square meters — even if the land was originally described in a local unit.
Agricultural Land
Farmers deal in Acre, Guntha, Bigha, Kanal
Agricultural transactions, especially in rural Karnataka, Punjab, UP and Maharashtra, are still conducted almost entirely in regional units — converting to Acre helps standardise comparisons and pricing per unit.
Quick Mental Math
Saves you from manual calculation errors
Manually converting Bigha to square feet, or Kanal to Marla, is error-prone. A single instant conversion removes the guesswork before you sign anything.
Land Measurement Fundamentals
Standard vs Regional Land Units — Explained
Property listings across India mix international standard units with traditional local ones. Here's how the two families relate to each other.
Standard Units
Square Feet, Square Meter, Square Yard, Acre and Hectare are internationally standardised and used in RERA filings, sale deeds, and builder floor plans across every state.
1 Acre = 43,560 sq ft = 4,046.86 sq m
These never change by region — 1 acre in Bengaluru is exactly the same as 1 acre in Delhi.
Regional Units
Guntha, Cent, Ground, Kanal, Marla, Bigha, Biswa and Killa are traditional units still used in local land records, rural sale agreements, and everyday conversation.
Vary by state — always verify locally
A Bigha in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bengal, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh can each mean a different area — this tool uses the common North Indian "pucca" standard.
Where Guntha & Cent Are Used
Guntha is common in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat for agricultural and semi-urban land. Cent is the standard small-plot unit across Kerala, Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra Pradesh.
1 Guntha = 1,089 sq ft · 1 Cent = 435.6 sq ft
Both are exact fractions of an acre (1 Acre = 40 Guntha = 100 Cent), so their conversion is fixed and reliable.
Where Kanal, Marla & Killa Are Used
Kanal and Marla are the standard units in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Killa is a Punjab-specific term used interchangeably with Acre for agricultural land.
1 Kanal = 20 Marla = 5,445 sq ft
1 Killa always equals 1 Acre exactly — it's a regional name, not a different measurement.
