Indian Land Area Converter (Bigha, Guntha, Gaj, Cent)

Formula & Calculation Methodology

Converts source unit to base Square Feet using state-specific gazetted factors, then maps to target regional units.

Step-by-Step Worked Example

Input: 1,000 Square Gaj (Square Yards)

1. 1 Square Gaj = 9 Square Feet
2. Total Square Feet = 1,000 × 9 = 9,000 sq ft
3. Guntha (1,089 sq ft) = 9,000 ÷ 1,089 = 8.264 Guntha
4. Cent (435.6 sq ft) = 9,000 ÷ 435.6 = 20.66 Cents
5. Acre (43,560 sq ft) = 9,000 ÷ 43,560 = 0.2066 Acre

State-wise Regional Land Units in India

North & Central India (UP, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, MP) predominantly use Square Gaj, Biswa, and Bigha.

Western India (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka) measures rural and NA plots in Gunthas (1 Guntha = 1,089 sq ft; 40 Gunthas = 1 Acre).

South India (Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana) measures land in Cents (1 Cent = 435.6 sq ft) and Grounds (Chennai standard = 2,400 sq ft).
