How It Works & Calculation Formula
Understanding Uttar Pradesh Land Revenue Standards & UP Bigha Conversion
Land measurement in Uttar Pradesh is deeply rooted in historical revenue administration systems. When dealing with land registry records (Bhulekh UP), mutation papers, or agricultural property transactions, accuracy in converting local units like Pucca Bigha and Kaccha Bigha into standard metrics like Square Feet and Acres is critical. Our enterprise tool provides instant, certified calculations based on official revenue codes.
Pucca Bigha vs. Kaccha Bigha: What is the Difference?
In Uttar Pradesh, land measurements vary significantly depending on whether the district historically utilized standard Pucca measurements or regional Kaccha measurements. Below is the precise breakdown of how these units scale down to Biswa and Square Feet:
- 1 Pucca Bigha = 20 Biswa = 27,225 Square Feet (approx. 3,025 Square Yards or 0.625 Acres). This is the standardized measurement used widely across most western and central UP districts.
- 1 Kaccha Bigha = 6.67 Biswa = 9,075 Square Feet (approx. 1,008 Square Yards or 0.208 Acres). Commonly found in older rural land partitions in eastern and some southern districts of UP.

How to Manually Calculate UP Bigha to Square Feet
If you are verifying a land deed or registry document manually, you can apply straightforward multiplication. For instance, if a farmer owns 3.5 Pucca Bigha of agricultural land in western UP:
$$\text{Total Square Feet} = 3.5 \times 27,225 = 95,287.5 \text{ sq ft}$$
To convert this resulting square footage into Acres, divide by the standard acre constant ($43,560$ sq ft per acre):
$$\text{Total Acres} = \frac{95,287.5}{43,560} \approx 2.1875 \text{ Acres}$$
