Quick reference for Indian land units
India never settled on one unit for land and area, and that's rarely explained to a first-time buyer. A broker in Nashik might quote you in guntha, a listing in Chennai in cents, and a plot in Punjab in gaj or marla — each tied to a regional farming or revenue-survey tradition rather than a national standard. The confusion isn't just cosmetic: getting a conversion wrong by even 10% can throw off your entire cost-per-square-foot comparison, which is exactly the number you rely on to judge whether a deal is fair. This converter handles the units you're most likely to encounter across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, so you can translate whatever figure you were quoted into the square feet your loan and cost calculations actually use.
Guntha to Square Feet & Acre
1 acre = 40 guntha = 43,560 sq ft. Guntha is common in Maharashtra and Karnataka for agricultural and plot land. 1 guntha = 1,089 sq ft.
Cent to Square Feet
Widely used in South India (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra). 1 cent = 435.6 sq ft, and 100 cent = 1 acre.
Bigha to Square Feet
Bigha varies a lot by state — this tool uses a common value of 27,000 sq ft, but always confirm the local definition, as it can range widely across North India.
Gaj to Square Feet (Square Yard)
1 gaj = 1 square yard = 9 sq ft. Often used for plots in North India. Carpet and built-up areas in flats are usually quoted in square feet.
