Converting Kachha Bigha to Square Foot is one of the most common land-area calculations in India — and one of the easiest to get wrong if you ignore regional standards. In Rajasthan, brokers, patwari records, and RERA listings may all use slightly different local conventions. This page uses BhumiMeter's verified conversion tables (cross-checked against State Land Revenue Acts and widely accepted local standards) so you get 1 Kachha Bigha = 17,424 Square Foot for the selected standard — with clear notes wherever values are disputed.
Understanding Kachha Bigha and Square Foot
Kachha 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. Ask the seller which Kachha Bigha standard they mean — "Bigha" alone is not enough in most of North India. 2. Compare the quoted area with the measurement on your online Bhulekh / Apna Khata / Banglarbhumi extract (usually stored in square metres). 3. 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. 4. If two documents show different areas, the revenue record prevails over a broker's oral conversion.

Rajasthan — local context
Rajasthan land records and broker quotes rely on state-specific units. Key values on BhumiMeter: Pucca Bigha: 27,225 sq ft; Kachha Bigha: 17,424 sq ft; Biswa: 1,089 sq ft. Rajasthan distinguishes Pucca Bigha (27,225 sq ft — 165×165 ft) from Kachha Bigha (17,424 sq ft). Property near Jaipur and Jodhpur often quotes Pucca; agricultural land in older records may use Kachha. Always confirm which Bigha the seller means. These figures are indicative — confirm against your Khasra-Khatauni or state Bhulekh portal before any financial decision.
