Whether you are measuring a standard 30x40 site or an irregular agricultural plot, knowing the exact square footage is the first step in home construction. Different states in India use different units—Cents, Guntas, Ankanams, or Grounds. Our tool provides an instant, error-free conversion across all these standards.
While the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) mandates the use of Square Meters for official filings, local markets continue to use historical units:
Always measure the diagonally 'Cross-length' of your plot; if the diagonals are not equal, the plot is not a perfect rectangle.
Most 30x40 plots in Bangalore (1200 Sq Ft) are exactly 1.10 Guntas.
A 5-cent plot is roughly 2178 sq ft, ideal for a large independent villa.
Check your title deed for the word 'Measurement'—local surveyors and architects use different rounding logic.
In irregular plots (Trapezoidal), divide the plot into two triangles to calculate the exact area.
