Whether you are verifying a Khasra entry, comparing plot quotes, or preparing a sale deed, you need a reliable Eastern Bigha (Purvanchal/Lucknow) to Acre conversion. Uttar Pradesh has its own recognised Eastern Bigha (Purvanchal/Lucknow) size, which is why generic online converters often return the wrong number. Below, our live calculator is pre-set to this exact pair for Uttar Pradesh, and every value in the tables is computed from the same single source of truth — not copied from random blogs.
Understanding Eastern Bigha (Purvanchal/Lucknow) and Acre
Eastern Bigha (Purvanchal/Lucknow) 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. Acre equals 43,560 square feet exactly and appears frequently in agricultural land records. 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 Eastern Bigha (Purvanchal/Lucknow) 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.
