Bigha to Square Feet in Punjab
Convert bigha, katha, biswa, gaj and acre to square feet using the values commonly used in Punjab. Punjab mainly uses standard and regional units — see below.
Also called gaj. 1 gaj = 9 sq ft. The most common way plots are quoted in North India.
ℹ️ Punjab uses kanal (5,445 sq ft) & marla (272.25 sq ft), which are exact. 'Bigha' here is disputed (9,070–21,780 sq ft), so it's left out — 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.
Land measurement in Punjab
Punjab measures land in killa (= 1 acre), kanal (5,445 sq ft) and marla (272.25 sq ft), with 8 kanal to an acre and 20 marla to a kanal — the standardised post-consolidation system. House plots in Ludhiana, Amritsar and Mohali are routinely priced per marla; the 'bigha' is inconsistent here and best avoided.
