How to convert bigha to acres in Uttarakhand

Multiply the number of bigha by 0.1562. For example, 5 bigha × 0.1562 = 0.781 acres.

Every land unit is a fixed number of square feet: 1 bigha (Uttarakhand) = 6,804 sq ft and 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft. Dividing the first by the second gives the conversion factor.

Is a bigha the same everywhere in Uttarakhand?

Not always. The figure here is the one most commonly quoted for Uttarakhand, but some districts and older records use a different bigha — often a larger ‘pucca’ and a smaller ‘kachha’ bigha. The area written in your land record and the survey map are what count legally, so use this as a guide and check the record before buying, selling or fencing.

Our Uttarakhand land guide explains the local record (Khatauni), where to check it online, and the risks NRI landowners there face.

Which figure should you trust in a dispute?

Conversions help you understand and compare; they don’t change what your record says. Trust the area in your record of rights and the survey map. If the land on the ground looks smaller than the record, the next step is a demarcation by the revenue office — and if you live abroad, satellite monitoring can flag field-scale change if a neighbour starts using your land.
