Frequently Asked Questions
How to convert Bigha to Acre?
Varies by state. UP: 1 Bigha = 0.62 Acre (divide by 1.613). Bihar/Haryana: 1 Bigha = 0.625 Acre (divide by 1.6). Punjab: 1 Bigha = 0.208 Acre (divide by 4.8). West Bengal: 1 Bigha = 0.33 Acre (divide by 3.025). Formula (UP): Acre = Bigha × 0.62. Reverse: Bigha = Acre × 1.613. Example (UP): 5 Bigha = 5 × 0.62 = 3.1 Acres. 1 Acre = 43,560 sq ft; 1 Bigha (UP) = 27,000 sq ft; so 43,560/27,000 = 1.613 Bigha per Acre. Always specify state for accurate conversion.
How to convert Acre to Guntha?
Multiply Acre by 40. Formula: Guntha = Acre × 40. Since 1 Acre = 40 Gunthas (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat standard). 1 Guntha = 1,089 sq ft = 101.17 sq m. Examples: 1 Acre = 40 Guntha, 0.5 Acre = 20 Guntha, 2 Acres = 80 Guntha. Reverse: Guntha ÷ 40 = Acre. For 20 Guntha: 20/40 = 0.5 Acre. For 40 Guntha: 1 Acre. Common conversions: 5 Guntha = 0.125 Acre = 5,445 sq ft, 10 Guntha = 0.25 Acre = 10,890 sq ft. Also: 1 Guntha = 2.5 Cents (South India equivalence).
How to convert Hectare to Bigha?
State-specific: UP: 1 Hectare = 3.987 ≈ 4 Bigha. Bihar: 1 Hectare = 3.95 Bigha. Punjab: 1 Hectare = 11.87 ≈ 12 Bigha. West Bengal: 1 Hectare = 7.48 ≈ 7.5 Bigha. Formula (UP): Bigha = Hectare × 3.987. Calculation: 1 Hectare = 10,000 sq m. 1 Bigha (UP) = 2,508.38 sq m. So, 10,000/2,508.38 = 3.987 Bigha. Examples: 1 Hectare (UP) = 4 Bigha = 80 Biswa = 107,639 sq ft. 0.5 Hectare = 2 Bigha. 2 Hectare = 8 Bigha. Reverse: 1 Bigha (UP) = 0.251 Hectare. Use state-specific values for accuracy.
What is 1 Biswa in Gaj?
1 Biswa = 150 Gaj (North India standard). Formula: Gaj = Biswa × 150. Since 1 Biswa = 1,350 sq ft and 1 Gaj = 9 sq ft, then 1,350/9 = 150 Gaj. Examples: 1 Biswa = 150 Gaj, 4 Biswa = 600 Gaj, 1.5 Biswa = 225 Gaj, 10 Biswa = 1,500 Gaj (0.5 Bigha). Reverse: Gaj ÷ 150 = Biswa. For 300 Gaj: 300/150 = 2 Biswa. For 600 Gaj: 4 Biswa. Relationship: 20 Biswa = 1 Bigha = 3,000 Gaj. Common in UP, Bihar, Haryana for small plot measurements. 1 Biswa = 0.031 Acre = 125.42 sq m.
How to convert Acre to Cent?
Multiply Acre by 100. Formula: Cent = Acre × 100. This is exact: 1 Acre = 100 Cents (South India - Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, AP). 1 Cent = 435.6 sq ft = 40.47 sq m. Examples: 1 Acre = 100 Cents, 0.5 Acre = 50 Cents, 2 Acres = 200 Cents, 0.25 Acre = 25 Cents, 0.1 Acre = 10 Cents. Reverse: Cent ÷ 100 = Acre. For 75 Cents: 75/100 = 0.75 Acre = 32,670 sq ft. For 150 Cents: 1.5 Acres. Common property sizes: 5 Cents = 2,178 sq ft, 10 Cents = 4,356 sq ft, 20 Cents = 8,712 sq ft. Note: Cent = Dismil in value (both 435.6 sq ft) but different regional names.
How to convert Guntha to Square Meter?
Multiply Guntha by 101.17. Formula: Square Meter = Guntha × 101.17. Since 1 Guntha = 1,089 sq ft and 1 sq ft = 0.092903 sq m, then 1,089 × 0.092903 = 101.17 sq m. Examples: 1 Guntha = 101.17 sq m, 5 Guntha = 505.86 sq m, 10 Guntha = 1,011.7 sq m, 20 Guntha = 2,023.4 sq m (0.5 Acre), 40 Guntha = 4,046.86 sq m ≈ 4,047 sq m (1 Acre). Reverse: sq m ÷ 101.17 = Guntha. For 500 sq m: 500/101.17 = 4.94 ≈ 5 Guntha. For 1,000 sq m: 9.88 ≈ 10 Guntha. Useful for metric conversions in Maharashtra/Karnataka property.
What is 1 Kattha in Acre?
1 Kattha = 0.03125 Acre (Bihar/Jharkhand standard). Formula: Acre = Kattha × 0.03125 or Kattha ÷ 32. Since 1 Kattha = 1,361 sq ft (Bihar) and 1 Acre = 43,560 sq ft, then 1,361/43,560 = 0.03125 Acre. Examples: 1 Kattha = 0.03125 Acre = 1/32 Acre, 10 Kattha = 0.3125 Acre, 20 Kattha = 0.625 Acre (1 Bigha Bihar), 32 Kattha = 1 Acre. Reverse: 1 Acre = 32 Kattha (Bihar). For 2 Acres: 64 Kattha. Note: Kattha varies by region - Bengal Kattha (720 sq ft) differs from Bihar Kattha (1,361 sq ft). Always confirm local standard. 1 Kattha = 1.25 Dismil approximately.
How to convert Dismil to Hectare?
Multiply Dismil by 0.00404686. Formula: Hectare = Dismil × 0.00404686 or Dismil ÷ 247.1. Since 1 Dismil = 435.6 sq ft = 40.47 sq m and 1 Hectare = 10,000 sq m, then 40.47/10,000 = 0.00404686 Hectare. Examples: 1 Dismil = 0.00405 Hectare, 10 Dismil = 0.0405 Hectare, 100 Dismil = 0.405 Hectare (1 Acre = 0.4047 ha), 247 Dismil = 1 Hectare. Reverse: 1 Hectare = 247.1 Dismil. For 0.5 Hectare: 123.5 Dismil. For 2 Hectare: 494.2 Dismil. Relationship: 100 Dismil = 1 Acre = 0.4047 Hectare. Used in Eastern India (West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Odisha) land records.
