Land in India is still quoted in Square Foot in thousands of villages and property listings, while banks and legal documents increasingly require Square Yard (Gaj). Bridging that gap means using the correct regional factor. This converter uses internationally fixed factors where units are uniform (Gaj, acre, hectare) and state-specific tables where they are not. Headline answer: 1 Square Foot = 0.111111 Square Yard (Gaj). Scroll down for the formula, a step-by-step example, and a full quick-reference table.
Understanding Square Foot and Square Yard (Gaj)
Square Foot is a uniform nationwide unit with a fixed size everywhere in India. Square Yard (Gaj) has an exact, nationwide definition derived from the metric system. 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 Square Foot 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.
