Getting Started

How & Why to Use This Land Measurement Converter

Type in a land area and choose the unit it's currently in — Square Feet, Gunta, Cent, Acre, Bigha, and every other unit updates instantly, side by side. This is built for the reality of Indian real estate, where a plot in Bengaluru is quoted in Gunta, one in Kerala in Cents, and one in Punjab in Marla or Kanal. Instead of hunting for a separate converter per unit, get every equivalent at once, along with a note on which states actually use each unit.

📋 How to Use This Converter
1
Enter your land area
Type the number as it appears on your property document, brochure, or listing — e.g. 2400.
2
Pick the unit it's in
Choose the unit that number is currently measured in from the dropdown — Square Feet, Gunta, Cent, Acre and more.
3
Read every equivalent
The tiles and table update instantly, showing your value converted into all 15 supported units at once.
4
Check the region column
For units like Bigha, Katha and Biswa that vary by state, confirm the local convention before relying on the figure.
💡 Why Use This Converter
🗺️
Compare Across States
Instantly translate a Gunta quote from Bengaluru into Cents for a Kerala buyer, or Sq Ft for anyone else.
📄
Decode Property Documents
Sale deeds and khata records often use regional units — convert them to Sq Ft to compare with listings.
💰
Sense-Check Price per Unit
Convert a quoted price-per-Gunta or price-per-Cent into price-per-Sq-Ft to compare deals apples-to-apples.
✅
Avoid Costly Mistakes
Land unit confusion is a common source of disputes and overpayment — double-check every figure before you sign.

Insights & Regional Notes

Where each Indian land unit is actually used, and the traps to watch for when a deal crosses state lines.

🎯
Gunta: 1,089 Sq Ft, 40 to an Acre
Common across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for agricultural and semi-urban plots. Always check whether a quoted "Gunta" rate already includes setback or common area deductions.
Karnataka / Maharashtra
🏠
Cent: 435.6 Sq Ft, 100 to an Acre
The default small-plot unit in Kerala and widely used in Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra. Residential listings under 10 Cents are common in Kerala — convert to Sq Ft before comparing with other states.
Kerala / Tamil Nadu
💰
Bigha, Katha, Biswa: No Fixed Value
These three units change size from state to state — and sometimes district to district. A Bigha in West Bengal is not the same as one in Rajasthan. Treat the figures here as starting estimates, not legal fact.
Variable by State
📊
Marla & Kanal: Punjab's Twin Units
One Kanal equals exactly 20 Marla, mirroring how 40 Gunta make an Acre. These units are standard in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir property records.
Punjab / Haryana / J&K
🏙️
Ground: Chennai's Local Standard
A Ground (2,400 sq ft) is the everyday unit for plot sizes and construction quotes in Chennai and much of Tamil Nadu — most local builders price per Ground rather than per Sq Ft.

⚙️
Always Convert Before You Compare
The single biggest mistake in cross-state land deals is comparing raw numbers in different units. Convert every quote to Square Feet first — it's the one unit understood everywhere in India.

Quick FAQs

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about converting Indian land measurement units

Yes. Enter Area A in one unit (say, Square Feet) and Area B in a completely different unit (say, Gunta) — the tool converts both to a common base and shows which is bigger, by how much, and their full unit-by-unit comparison.
A Gunta (also called Guntha) is a traditional land unit used in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. One Gunta equals 1,089 square feet, and 40 Gunta make one Acre.
One Cent equals 435.6 square feet. The Cent is commonly used in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and parts of Karnataka, and 100 Cents make one Acre.
Bigha is a traditional unit whose size varies by state — a Bigha in Uttar Pradesh differs from one in West Bengal, Rajasthan or Punjab. Always confirm the local conversion factor with a state land record before relying on a single value.
One Acre equals 43,560 square feet, 4,840 square yards, 40 Gunta, or 100 Cents.
A Ground is a land unit used mainly in Chennai and parts of Tamil Nadu, equal to 2,400 square feet — commonly used for plot listings and construction quotes in the region.
One Marla equals 272.25 square feet, and one Kanal equals 20 Marla, or 5,445 square feet. Both units are common in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.
One Hectare equals 107,639 square feet, which works out to roughly 2.47 Acres. Hectare is the metric unit used in official land records alongside the more common Acre.
A Katha is a traditional unit used in Bihar, West Bengal and Assam, averaging around 720 square feet — though the exact size varies by state and even by district, so always check the local figure.
A Biswa is a small land unit common in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab, averaging around 1,350 square feet. Like Bigha and Katha, its exact size is not fixed nationally.
One Ankanam equals 72 square feet. It's a small traditional unit used mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for compact residential plots.
A Chatak equals 45 square feet and is used almost exclusively in West Bengal, typically for very small plot or room-area measurements.
One Square Meter equals approximately 10.7639 Square Feet. This is the standard metric-to-imperial conversion used across India's official land records.
No — treat these figures as quick estimates for comparison only. For sale deeds, registration, or any legal transaction, always confirm exact measurements with a certified surveyor or your state's official land records.
Convert everything to Square Feet first. It's the one unit understood and used consistently across every Indian state, making it the safest common ground for comparing two properties.

India uses over a dozen traditional land units alongside the metric Square Foot — Gunta and Cent in the south, Bigha and Katha in the east and north, Marla and Kanal in the northwest, and Ground in Tamil Nadu. Each grew out of local agricultural and revenue record-keeping, which is why they don't share a single national conversion factor.

Square Feet is the closest thing India has to a universal unit — it's understood in every state and is what this converter uses as its base. When in doubt, convert any regional unit to Square Feet first before comparing two properties, and always verify Bigha, Katha, or Biswa figures against your state's official land records, since these three vary the most.
