About these units

Bigha is not a standardised legal unit. Its size is fixed by local revenue convention and changes from state to state — and sometimes from district to district within one state. The value used here is the Pucca Bigha of 27,225 sq ft, the most common convention in Rajasthan, Haryana and parts of Uttar Pradesh.

Hectare is the metric unit used in official Indian revenue records, including jamabandi and khasra entries. 1 hectare = 10,000 square metres.
