Plot Area Converter

Square feet, square yards (gaj), square metres, acres, hectares, bigha and biswa.

Plots in Lucknow are advertised in square feet, square yards (gaj) or square metres, while land records and farm land use bigha and biswa. Enter an area in any unit and see it in all the others.

Bigha and biswa are not the same everywhere. Their size changes between districts and even villages in Uttar Pradesh, so set the size that applies to your land (your khatauni or the lekhpal can confirm it) in the fields provided.

How it is calculated

Every unit is converted through square feet: 1 sq.yd. (gaj) = 9 sq.ft.; 1 sq.m. = 10.7639 sq.ft.; 1 acre = 43,560 sq.ft.; 1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m. = 107,639 sq.ft.; 1 bigha and 1 biswa = the sizes you set (starting values: 1 bigha = 20 biswa).

A worked example

A plot of 1,350 sq.ft. is 150 sq.yd. (gaj), about 125.4 sq.m. and about 0.031 acre. At the starting value of 27,000 sq.ft. to the bigha it is 1/20 of a bigha, which is 1 biswa.

Things to keep in mind

  • The starting bigha size (27,000 sq.ft.) is a commonly used value, not a rule. Local revenue records may use a different one.
  • Always buy on the area stated in the registered documents and the approved map.
