Frequently Asked Questions
What is UnitConvertly?
UnitConvertly is a fast, privacy-first calculation platform. It provides state-wise Indian land measurement converters for Bigha, Biswa, Kanal, Guntha, and Cent across 14 states. You can also estimate civil building materials and calculate standard SI and imperial units.
Why does 1 Bigha differ between Uttar Pradesh (27,225 sq ft) and Uttarakhand / Dehradun (6,804 sq ft)?
Plains settlements under Mughal and British administrations utilized the 55-yard Jarib measuring chain. This standardized 1 Pucca Bigha in Uttar Pradesh at 27,225 square feet (3,025 Gaj). In contrast, the Garhwal and Kumaon hill settlement fixed 1 Bigha at 6,804 square feet (756 Gaj). This smaller mountain unit reflects the local terrace cultivation capacity.
What is the difference between Pucca Bigha and Kaccha Bigha in North India?
A Pucca Bigha is the official unit recognized in state revenue department land records. In Uttar Pradesh, 1 Pucca Bigha equals 27,225 square feet. A Kaccha Bigha is an informal rural subdivisional measure. It typically equals one-third of a Pucca Bigha, or 9,075 square feet.
How many cement bags and steel rebar are needed for building a house in India?
Standard civil engineering rules recommend 0.4 cement bags per square foot of built-up area. For example, a 1,000 sq ft house needs approximately 400 cement bags. Steel requirements average 3.5 kg to 4.5 kg of TMT rebar per square foot. Use our interactive Construction Calculator above for exact slab-by-slab estimates.
What is 1 Kanal and 1 Marla in Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh?
1 Kanal equals 5,445 square feet (605 Gaj). 1 Kanal equals 20 Marlas (1 Marla = 272.25 sq ft). Exactly 8 Kanals make 1 Killa or 1 Acre (43,560 sq ft).
What is 1 Guntha in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka?
1 Guntha measures 33 ft by 33 ft, which equals 1,089 square feet (121 Gaj). In Maharashtra, exactly 40 Gunthas constitute 1 Acre. Official 7/12 land records list plot areas in Gunthas and Hectares.
How accurate are the conversion calculations?
Calculations use official state revenue department gazettes for regional land measurements. Civil building estimators adhere strictly to Bureau of Indian Standards (IS 1786 and IS 456) specifications. Universal converters follow NIST and BIPM definitions to ensure 10 significant digits of precision.
Are my calculations private?
All conversions run 100% client-side in your web browser. No measurement values or engineering figures are ever sent to external servers. Your calculations remain completely private on your device.
