Bigha Conversion Formulas
From Bigha Conversions
1. Bigha to Acre:
\( \text{Acre} = \frac{\text{Bigha} \times \text{Bigha in sq ft}}{43560} \)
Since 1 Acre = 43,560 sq ft. For UP (1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft): 1 Bigha = 27,000/43,560 = 0.62 Acre. For Punjab (9,070 sq ft): 1 Bigha = 9,070/43,560 = 0.208 Acre. Always use state-specific sq ft value.
2. Bigha to Hectare:
\( \text{Hectare} = \frac{\text{Bigha} \times \text{Bigha in sq m}}{10000} \)
Convert Bigha to sq ft, then to sq m (×0.092903), then divide by 10,000. UP: 1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft = 2,508.38 sq m = 0.251 hectare. West Bengal: 1 Bigha = 14,400 sq ft = 1,337.8 sq m = 0.134 hectare. Formula: Hectare = Bigha × 0.251 (for UP).
3. Bigha to Square Feet:
\( \text{Square Feet} = \text{Bigha} \times \text{State-specific constant} \)
Direct multiplication by state value. UP: Sq Ft = Bigha × 27,000. Bihar: × 27,220. Punjab: × 9,070. Haryana: × 27,225. West Bengal/Assam: × 14,400. Example: 5 Bigha in UP = 5 × 27,000 = 135,000 sq ft.
4. Bigha to Gaj:
\( \text{Gaj} = \frac{\text{Bigha} \times \text{Bigha in sq ft}}{9} \)
Since 1 Gaj = 9 sq ft. UP: 1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft ÷ 9 = 3,000 Gaj. Punjab: 9,070 ÷ 9 = 1,007.78 Gaj. West Bengal: 14,400 ÷ 9 = 1,600 Gaj. Use for land measurements in Gaj-using regions.

5. Acre to Bigha:
\( \text{Bigha} = \frac{\text{Acre} \times 43560}{\text{State Bigha in sq ft}} \)
UP: 1 Acre = 43,560/27,000 = 1.613 Bigha. Punjab: 43,560/9,070 = 4.802 Bigha. West Bengal: 43,560/14,400 = 3.025 Bigha. Example: 2 Acres in Bihar = 2 × (43,560/27,220) = 3.2 Bigha.
6. Hectare to Bigha:
\( \text{Bigha} = \frac{\text{Hectare} \times 10000}{\text{State Bigha in sq m}} \)
UP: 1 Hectare = 10,000/2,508.38 = 3.987 ≈ 4 Bigha. West Bengal: 10,000/1,337.8 = 7.477 ≈ 7.5 Bigha. Punjab: 10,000/842.37 = 11.87 ≈ 12 Bigha. Example: 1.5 Hectare in UP = 1.5 × 4 = 6 Bigha.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to convert Bigha to Acre?
Convert Bigha to Acre using state-specific values. Formula: Acre = (Bigha × Bigha sq ft value) ÷ 43,560. For Uttar Pradesh (1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft): 1 Bigha = 27,000/43,560 = 0.62 Acre. For Punjab (9,070 sq ft): 1 Bigha = 0.208 Acre. For West Bengal (14,400 sq ft): 1 Bigha = 0.33 Acre. Examples: In UP, 5 Bigha = 5 × 0.62 = 3.1 Acres. In Bihar, 10 Bigha = 10 × 0.625 = 6.25 Acres. Reverse: 1 Acre in UP = 1.613 Bigha, in Punjab = 4.8 Bigha, in West Bengal = 3.025 Bigha. Always confirm your state's standard.
How many Hectare in 1 Bigha?
1 Bigha equals different hectares in each state. Uttar Pradesh: 1 Bigha = 0.251 Hectare (27,000 sq ft = 2,508 sq m). Bihar/Haryana: 1 Bigha = 0.253 Hectare. West Bengal/Assam: 1 Bigha = 0.134 Hectare. Punjab: 1 Bigha = 0.084 Hectare. Madhya Pradesh: 1 Bigha = 0.111 Hectare. Conversion: Convert Bigha to sq ft, then to sq m (multiply by 0.092903), then divide by 10,000 for hectare. Example: In UP, 5 Bigha = 5 × 0.251 = 1.255 Hectare. Reverse: 1 Hectare = 4 Bigha (UP), 7.5 Bigha (West Bengal), 12 Bigha (Punjab). Regional variation is significant.
How to convert Bigha to Square Feet?
Multiply Bigha by your state's conversion factor. Uttar Pradesh: Sq Ft = Bigha × 27,000. Bihar: × 27,220. Haryana/Rajasthan (Pucca): × 27,225. Punjab: × 9,070. West Bengal/Assam: × 14,400. Gujarat/Rajasthan (Kachha): × 17,424. Madhya Pradesh: × 12,000. Examples: (1) 1 Bigha in UP = 27,000 sq ft. (2) 3 Bigha in Punjab = 3 × 9,070 = 27,210 sq ft. (3) 10 Bigha in West Bengal = 10 × 14,400 = 144,000 sq ft. Reverse: Square Feet ÷ state factor = Bigha. For 10,000 sq ft in UP: 10,000/27,000 = 0.37 Bigha.
How to convert Hectare to Bigha in UP?
In Uttar Pradesh, 1 Hectare equals approximately 3.987 Bigha (rounded to 4 Bigha). Formula: Bigha = Hectare × 3.987. Calculation: 1 Hectare = 10,000 sq m. 1 Bigha in UP = 27,000 sq ft = 2,508.38 sq m. So, 1 Hectare = 10,000/2,508.38 = 3.987 Bigha. Examples: (1) 1 Hectare = 4 Bigha (rounded). (2) 2 Hectare = 8 Bigha. (3) 1.5 Hectare = 6 Bigha. (4) 0.5 Hectare = 2 Bigha. (5) 7 Hectare = 28 Bigha. Reverse: 1 Bigha in UP = 0.251 Hectare. For 5 Bigha: 5 × 0.251 = 1.255 Hectare. This conversion is specific to UP; other states differ significantly.
How to convert Bigha to Gaj?
Since 1 Gaj = 9 square feet, divide Bigha's sq ft value by 9. Formula: Gaj = (Bigha × State sq ft value) ÷ 9. Uttar Pradesh: 1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft ÷ 9 = 3,000 Gaj. Punjab: 1 Bigha = 9,070 ÷ 9 = 1,007.78 Gaj. West Bengal: 1 Bigha = 14,400 ÷ 9 = 1,600 Gaj. Haryana: 1 Bigha = 27,225 ÷ 9 = 3,025 Gaj. Examples: 5 Bigha in UP = 5 × 3,000 = 15,000 Gaj. 2 Bigha in Punjab = 2 × 1,007.78 = 2,015.56 Gaj. Reverse: Gaj × 9 = sq ft, then convert to Bigha. Useful when land prices are quoted per Gaj.
Why does Bigha size vary by state?
Bigha is a traditional Indian land measurement unit with historical origins predating standardization. Different regions developed their own Bigha standards based on local agricultural practices, royal decrees, and land revenue systems. Variation ranges from 6,804 sq ft (Uttarakhand hills) to 27,225 sq ft (Haryana) - a 4x difference. States with similar agricultural history (UP, Bihar, Haryana) have similar Bigha sizes (~27,000 sq ft), while Punjab uses smaller Bigha (9,070 sq ft) based on its unique land division system. British colonial administration attempted standardization but regional variations persisted. Modern real estate still uses these traditional measurements. Always verify the local Bigha standard when buying/selling land. Legal documents should specify "Bigha as per [State] measurement" to avoid disputes.
How to convert Square Meter to Bigha?
Convert square meter to Bigha by dividing by your state's Bigha size in sq m. First, find state Bigha in sq m: multiply sq ft by 0.092903. Then divide sq m by this value. UP: 1 Bigha = 27,000 × 0.092903 = 2,508.38 sq m. So, Bigha = Sq M ÷ 2,508.38. Examples: (1) 5,000 sq m in UP = 5,000/2,508.38 = 1.993 ≈ 2 Bigha. (2) 10,000 sq m (1 hectare) in UP = 3.987 ≈ 4 Bigha. (3) 3,000 sq m in West Bengal (1 Bigha = 1,337.8 sq m) = 3,000/1,337.8 = 2.24 Bigha. Punjab: 1 Bigha = 842.37 sq m, so 1,000 sq m = 1.187 Bigha. State-specific calculation essential.
What is 1 Acre in Bigha for different states?
1 Acre equals different Bigha values across states. 1 Acre = 43,560 square feet. Conversions: Uttar Pradesh: 1 Acre = 1.613 Bigha (43,560/27,000). Bihar: 1 Acre = 1.6 Bigha. Haryana: 1 Acre = 1.6 Bigha. Punjab: 1 Acre = 4.802 Bigha (43,560/9,070). West Bengal: 1 Acre = 3.025 Bigha (43,560/14,400). Assam: 1 Acre = 3.025 Bigha. Madhya Pradesh: 1 Acre = 3.63 Bigha. Gujarat: 1 Acre = 2.5 Bigha. Rajasthan (Pucca): 1 Acre = 1.6 Bigha. Examples: 5 Acres in UP = 8.065 Bigha. 10 Acres in Punjab = 48.02 Bigha. 2 Acres in West Bengal = 6.05 Bigha. Essential for comparing land across states.
