Converting land area: sq ft, gaj, cent, guntha and acre

Land is quoted in different units across India, which makes comparing plots harder than it should be. A buyer in Punjab may hear marla and kanal, one in Tamil Nadu ground, and one in Kerala cent.

For a 1,000 square foot plot, the equivalents are:

UnitEquivalent of 1,000 sq ft
Square metres92.90 sq m
Square yards (gaj)111.11
Acres0.0230
Cents2.296
Guntha0.918

Regional units such as bigha vary between states, and even between Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, so always confirm the local definition before you rely on a conversion.
