Acre to Bigha
Convert acre to bigha using the correct value for your state — acre is not the same size everywhere in India.
A large unit for farmland and plots. 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft = 4,840 gaj. · 1 acre = 40 guntha = 100 cent = 4,840 gaj
ℹ️ Pukka bigha (≈27,000 sq ft) shown; 1 bigha = 20 biswa. Western UP and kaccha bigha are much smaller (~6,800–13,600 sq ft) — confirm locally.
Please verify: bigha, katha and biswa vary by region and even by district, and can differ between pukka and kaccha measures. These are common values for a quick estimate — always confirm against your official land records (patwari / revenue department) before any deal or registration.
One acre (43,560 sq ft) converts to a different number of bighas in each state — roughly 1.6 in UP and Bihar, about 3 in West Bengal and Assam, and 5+ in the hills. Choose your state for the exact figure.
