Bigha is not a standardized unit — its size varies by state, district, and even between Pucca and Kachha variants. Figures shown are commonly cited estimates. Always confirm the exact local conversion factor with your revenue department (patwari/tehsildar) or official land records before any legal or financial transaction.

About This Hectare to Bigha Converter

A hectare is a standardized metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres, used worldwide including in official Indian land records such as Bhulekh and Khasra-Khatauni. Bigha, on the other hand, is a traditional Indian unit of land measurement that has no single fixed size — its value differs significantly from state to state, and sometimes even within the same state depending on whether a Pucca (standard) or Kachha (informal) Bigha is used. This makes manual conversion between hectares and bigha confusing and error-prone. Our Hectare to Bigha converter solves this by applying the correct, commonly used state-specific factor so you get an instant, reliable estimate — whether you're a farmer measuring your field, a buyer evaluating a plot, or simply verifying figures on a land record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this hectare to bigha converter free to use?

Yes, this tool is completely free with no signup required and no limit on the number of conversions you can perform.

Why does 1 hectare not equal the same number of bigha everywhere?

Bigha is a traditional, non-metric unit that was never standardized nationally. Each state's revenue department historically defined its own bigha size, so the conversion factor changes depending on where the land is located.

What is the difference between Pucca Bigha and Kachha Bigha?

Pucca (or Pakka) Bigha is the standard, larger unit typically used in official land revenue records. Kachha Bigha is an informal, smaller variant, often roughly two-thirds the size of a Pucca Bigha, still used in some local and tenancy contexts.

Can I use this tool for official land registration or legal purposes?

This calculator is intended for quick estimates and general reference only. For land registration, sale deeds, or any legal transaction, always confirm the exact conversion factor with your local revenue department or a certified surveyor.

Bigha is commonly used in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat, West Bengal, Assam, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh, among other states. Most South Indian states do not use this unit at all.
