Land in India is still quoted in Bigha in thousands of villages and property listings, while banks and legal documents increasingly require Square Foot. Bridging that gap means using the correct regional factor. For Madhya Pradesh, the standard used on this page reflects local revenue practice. Headline answer: 1 Bigha = 12,000 Square Foot. Scroll down for the formula, a step-by-step example, and a full quick-reference table.
Understanding Bigha and Square Foot
Bigha is a traditional land measure whose size is defined at the state level — not by central law. That is why two sellers quoting "1 Bigha" in different states may describe plots differing by a factor of three or four. Square Foot is the de facto market standard used by builders, brokers, and RERA carpet-area disclosures across India. BhumiMeter never guesses these numbers — every factor on this page is read from our curated data tables and computed through a square-foot base unit, the same method used internally by revenue surveyors when cross-checking Khasra maps.
Before you buy or sell — quick checklist
1. Punjab and Haryana listings sometimes mix Kanal-Marla with Bigha — confirm the hierarchy before converting. 2. Ask the seller which Bigha standard they mean — "Bigha" alone is not enough in most of North India. 3. Compare the quoted area with the measurement on your online Bhulekh / Apna Khata / Banglarbhumi extract (usually stored in square metres). 4. For RERA-registered flats, carpet area is disclosed in square feet by convention even though the legal unit is square metre — convert both ways before comparing builder quotes.
