Common Land Measurement Units in India
Understanding land measurement units can be crucial when dealing with property. Here are some common units:
- Square Feet (sq ft): A standard unit used widely for plots and built-up areas.
- Square Meter (sq m): The SI unit for area, commonly used internationally and increasingly in India. 1 sq m = 10.7639 sq ft.
- Square Yard (sq yd or Gaj): Often used for plots. 1 sq yd = 9 sq ft.
- Acre: A larger unit typically used for agricultural land and large plots. 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft.
- Hectare (ha): Used for very large land parcels, common in agriculture and forestry. 1 hectare = 10,000 sq m = 2.471 acres.
- Bigha: A traditional unit that varies greatly across different states in India. For example, in Uttar Pradesh, 1 Bigha can be around 27,000 sq ft, while in Rajasthan it might be different.
- Guz/Gaj (Var): A unit of length, but Square Gaj (or Square Var) is a unit of area, equivalent to a Square Yard.
